alterlab-biopython

alterlab-biopython is a Bioinformatics & life sciences skill for AI agents, published by AlterLab-IEU in the AlterLab-Academic-Skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates alterlab-biopython C (77/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Manipulate biological sequences, parse FASTA/GenBank/PDB files, run phylogenetics, and access NCBI/PubMed programmatically via Biopython (Bio.SeqIO, Bio.Entrez, Bio.PDB, Bio.Blast). Use when scripting custom bioinformatics pipelines, batch-processing sequence files, automating BLAST, or fetching records from Entrez — for quick one-off database lookups use gget, for unified multi-service integration use bioservices. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Unproven: rated by static analysis only, not yet compared head-to-head.

Not launch-quality. It is graded C with a clean safety verdict, but our quality filters exclude it: it is a near-duplicate variant of another skill. So it is not in our launch-quality set, the skills our MCP server searches and recommends. How launch-quality is decided
