What biological file formats does this skill support?

The Biopython skill supports all major bioinformatics formats including FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB, mmCIF, Clustal, and Phylip for both reading and writing.

Are there specific requirements for accessing NCBI databases?

When using the Entrez module for database access, NCBI requires you to provide a valid email address. This skill helps you set up those parameters correctly.

Can I use this skill to search PubMed or GenBank?

Yes, it includes specialized patterns for using Bio.Entrez to perform programmatic searches, fetch records, and download sequences from NCBI databases.

Does it support protein structure analysis?

Yes, the skill provides implementation guidance for Bio.PDB, allowing you to parse structures, navigate atom hierarchies, and calculate distances or RMSD.
