Book Description
Biopython is a collection of freely available Python modules for computational molecular biology. Python is an object oriented, interpreted, flexible language that is widely used 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. Since its inception in 2000, Biopython has been continuously developed and maintained by a large group of volunteers worldwide.
Biopython includes parsers for various bioinformatics file formats (BLAST, Clustalw, FASTA, Genbank, …), access to online services (NCBI, Expasy, …), a standard sequence class, sequence alignment and motif analysis tools, clustering algorithms, a module for structural biology, and a module for phylogenetics analysis.
This book is published as open-access, which means it is freely available to read, download, and share without restrictions.
