This article shows you how to use the bioinformatics application software development kit Scikit-bio, which is concise and easy to understand. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

Scikit-bio (official pronunciation: sigh-kit-buy-oh) is an open source Python package dedicated to processing genomic data. The origin of the name is estimated to be influenced by Python's machine learning package: Scikit-learn. In terms of function and style, it should be regarded as the Python version of SeqIO. For Shengxin programmers who love Python and increasingly can't stand all kinds of abuse on C++ (for example, me), Scikit-bio will be a pretty good choice!

This package is developed by biocore members, and all the code is publicly hosted on github, and everyone can use it and participate in the development. It provides a complete set of API- related to sequence processing to package many low-level operations, including defining a complete set of data structures, correlation sequence alignment algorithms, phylogenetic tree construction algorithms, data visualization interface functions, statistical methods, and methods to assist complex process construction for different genomic data (such as DNA,RNA, proteins, etc.). It even provides some tutorial resources related to bioinformatics, which can bring a lot of convenience to the development of many downstream application-oriented bioinformatics software.

The project started in 2014 and is still in the alpha release stage (the latest release is 0.2.3), but the recent development is becoming more and more active. Its document library is getting richer and richer, and it's worth looking forward to. But I haven't officially compared it with SeqIO yet, so I'm not sure about its performance in practical applications.

The above is how to use the bioinformatics application software development kit Scikit-bio. Have you learned the knowledge or skills? If you want to learn more skills or enrich your knowledge reserve, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
