biopython
Primary Python toolkit for molecular biology. Preferred for Python-based PubMed/NCBI queries (Bio.Entrez), sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB), advanced BLAST workflows, structures, phylogenetics. For quick BLAST, use gget. For direct REST API, use pubmed-database.
