scikit-bio

Bioinformatics data structures and algorithms for Python

scikit-bio offers well-documented building blocks for bioinformatics: biological sequences, multiple alignments, phylogenetic trees, and diversity/ordination methods widely used in microbiome research.

Highlights

  • Sequence objects with alphabets, k-mers and alignment.
  • Phylogenetics (UPGMA, neighbor-joining) and tree manipulation.
  • Alpha/beta diversity and ordination (PCoA) for community ecology.
