What is the use of Biopython?

Biopython is a large open-source application programming interface (API) used in both bioinformatics software development and in everyday scripts for common bioinformatics tasks. The homepage www.biopython.org provides access to the source code, documentation and mailing lists.

Is Biopython a module?

Basically, Biopython is a collection of python modules that provide functions to deal with DNA, RNA & protein sequence operations such as reverse complementing of a DNA string, finding motifs in protein sequences, etc.

What is the purpose of sequence analysis?

Sequence analysis is a term that comprehensively represents computational analysis of a DNA, RNA or peptide sequence, to extract knowledge about its properties, biological function, structure and evolution.
