biopython SKILL.md skillA
biopython from marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Biopython: Computational Molecular Biology in Python ## Overview Biopython is a comprehensive set of freely available Python tools for biological computation. It provides functionality for sequence manipulation, file I/O, database access, structural bioinformatics, phylogenetics, and many other bioinformatics tasks. The current version is **Biopython 1.85** (released January 2025), which supports Python 3 and requires NumPy. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - Working with biological sequences (DNA, RNA, or protein) - Reading, writing, or converting biological file formats (FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB, mmCIF, etc.) - Accessing NCBI databases (GenBank, PubMed, Protein, Gene, etc.) via Entrez - Running BLAST searches or parsing BLAST results - Performing sequence alignments (pairwise or multiple sequence alignments) - Analysing protein structures from PDB files - Creating, manipulating, or visualising phylogenetic trees - Finding sequence motifs or analysing motif patterns - Calculating sequence statistics (GC content, molecular weight, melting temperature, etc.) - Performing structural bioinformatics tasks - Working with population genetics data …

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/biopython@sha256:de9503cdddddaff1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.0115f49, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
