Basically, the goal of Biopython is +to make it as easy as possible to use Python for bioinformatics by +creating high-quality, reusable modules and classes. Biopython +features include parsers for various Bioinformatics file formats +(BLAST, Clustalw, FASTA, Genbank,...), access to online services +(NCBI, Expasy,...), interfaces to common and not-so-common programs +(Clustalw, DSSP, MSMS,...), a standard sequence class, various +clustering modules, a KD tree data structure etc. and even +documentation. + +If you use Biopython in work contributing to a scientific publication, +please cite the application note (below) or one of the module specific +publications (listed on Biopython's website): + +Cock, P.J.A. et al.
