BioPython
Sign in to saveBiopython is an open-source collection of non-commercial Python modules for computational biology and bioinformatics. It makes robust and well-tested code easily accessible to researchers. Python is an object-oriented programming language and is a suitable choice for automation of common tasks. The availability of reusable libraries saves development time and lets researchers focus on addressing scientific questions. Biopython is constantly updated and maintained by a large team of volunteers across the globe.

Source code
The git repository at produces the Biopython website at using GitHub Pages (rendered using Jekyll, see for details). Almost all of the content is under the URL prefix /wiki/ because this was based on an automated conversion of the old MediaWiki website, using to turn all the changes in the MediaWiki XML export file into into markdown (using pandoc) as a git repository. The old MediaWiki usernames were manually mapped to GitHub accounts. About 20 accounts on the wiki (mostly single contributions) could not be identified, but the old username is still logged in the git commits. Note the website content under /DIST/ is hosted in a separate GitHub Pages project repository covering the Biopython releases and assorted documentation files.

Biopython é uma biblioteca ou uma suite de ferramentas escritas em Python para manipulação de dados biológicos. Biopython apresenta uma coleção de classes, módulos e pacotes para análises de sequências biológicas, alinhamentos de sequências, estruturas de proteínas, genética de populações, filogenia, visualização de dados biológicos, detecção de regiões motivo em sequências, aprendizado de máquina, além de prover fácil acesso a bancos de dados biológicos. O Projeto Biopython faz parte da coleção de Bio* projetos open-source mantidos pela Open Bioinformatics Foundation.
