biopython-advanced

separate

Advanced Biopython modules for motifs, population genetics, sequence utilities, restriction analysis, clustering, and GenomeDiagram visualization; use when you need extended bioinformatics analysis beyond basic sequence I/O and alignment.

When to use

• You need **motif discovery/statistics** (e.g., PWM/consensus, motif counts across multiple sequences).
• You want **restriction enzyme site analysis** (e.g., find cut sites for specific enzymes in a DNA sequence).
• You need **codon usage / sequence utility calculations** (e.g., codon frequency from CDS, GC content, basic sequence stats).
• You are working with **population genetics (PopGen)** utilities for advanced analyses.
• You need **advanced visualization** such as **GenomeDiagram**-style plots for genomic features.

When not to use

• basic sequence I/O
• basic alignment
