Version

Biopython version 1.58 is available in  Hippu.

Biopython version 1.56 is available in  Vuori.

The Python version, which includes Biopython, is 2.6.5-gcc.

Description

Biopython is a collection of python modules that facilitate the development of python scripts for bioinformatics applications. As such, it does not include ready to use programs in the sense that many commercial packages and free web-based interfaces do. On the other hand, Biopython provides reusable python modules that facilitate writing scripts for sequence manipulation, accessing of databases using a range of data formats and execution and parsing of the results of various molecular biology programs. Consequently, Biopython enables developing scripts that can analyze large quantities of sequence data in ways that are typically difficult or impossible with web based systems.

Usage

 To use Biopython in Hippu or Vuori, give command:

 module load python

After this you can launch a biopythonl program with command

python my_biopython_code.py
