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 0 findings 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 6d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to biopython — 15 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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)
  • 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

Installation and Setup

Install Biopython using pip (requires Python 3 and NumPy):

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 tmolavi/mcp-agent-skills-hub (8 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 3,424 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to biopython, differing in 15 lines, and is treated as a copy.
