alterlab-biopython
From the author
Manipulate biological sequences, parse FASTA/GenBank/PDB files, run phylogenetics, and access NCBI/PubMed programmatically via Biopython (Bio.SeqIO, Bio.Entrez, Bio.PDB, Bio.Blast). Use when scripting custom bioinformatics pipelines, batch-processing sequence files, automating BLAST, or fetching records from Entrez — for quick one-off database lookups use gget, for unified multi-service integration use bioservices. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
