biopython

biopython is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dralkh/seerai. It costs 76 tokens per session (4,041 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of biopython, MIT.

A Python toolkit for computational biology, the use of software to study DNA, RNA, proteins, biological structures, and related data. It supports sequence handling, biology file formats, database access, alignments, BLAST, and evolutionary trees.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read and convert FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB, and mmCIF files; query NCBI databases; run or parse BLAST searches; align sequences; analyze protein structures; and work with phylogenetic trees.
Why use it?
It brings common biology data tasks into one programmable toolkit, reducing the need to write separate parsers and utilities for each workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

biopython scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

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 1.87 (released 30 March 2026). It supports Python 3.10-3.14 and PyPy3.10, and requires NumPy. Biopython 1.87 also addresses CVE-2025-68463 in Bio.Entrez.Parser when parsing untrusted files, so prefer 1.87+ for workflows that parse externally supplied Entrez XML.

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)
  • Analyzing protein structures from PDB files
  • Creating, manipulating, or visualizing phylogenetic trees
  • Finding sequence motifs or analyzing motif patterns
  • Calculating sequence statistics (GC content, molecular weight, melting temperature, etc.)
  • Performing structural bioinformatics tasks
  • Working with population genetics data
  • Any other computational molecular biology task

Core Capabilities

Biopython is organized into modular sub-packages, each addressing specific bioinformatics domains:

  1. Sequence Handling - Bio.Seq and Bio.SeqIO for sequence manipulation and file I/O
  2. Alignment Analysis - Bio.Align and Bio.AlignIO for pairwise and multiple sequence alignments
  3. Database Access - Bio.Entrez for programmatic access to NCBI databases
  4. BLAST Operations - Bio.Blast for running and parsing BLAST searches
  5. Structural Bioinformatics - Bio.PDB for working with 3D protein structures
  6. Phylogenetics - Bio.Phylo for phylogenetic tree manipulation and visualization
  7. Advanced Features - Motifs, population genetics, sequence utilities, and more

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

biopython is a skill published in the GitHub repository dralkh/seerai (77 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 4,041 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 95% identical to biopython, differing in 13 lines, and is treated as a copy.
