The Biopython Project is an international association of developers of freely available Python tools for computational molecular biology. Python is an object oriented, interpreted, flexible language that is becoming increasingly popular for scientific computing. Python is easy to learn, has a very clear syntax and can easily be extended with modules written in C, C++ or FORTRAN.
The main Biopython releases have lots of functionality, including:
The ability to parse bioinformatics files into Python utilizable data structures, including support for
the following formats:
– Blast output – both from standalone and WWW Blast
Clustalw
– FASTA
– GenBank
– PubMed and Medline
– ExPASy files, like Enzyme and Prosite
– SCOP, including ‘dom’ and ‘lin’ files
– UniGene
– SwissProt
Files in the supported formats can be iterated over record by record or indexed and accessed via a
Dictionary interface.
Code to deal with popular on-line bioinformatics destinations such as:
NCBI – Blast, Entrez and PubMed services
– ExPASy – Swiss-Prot and Prosite entries, as well as Prosite searches
Interfaces to common bioinformatics programs such as:
Standalone Blast from NCBI
– Clustalw alignment program
– EMBOSS command line tools
