The package is open source and freely available at GitHub (https://github.com/biotite-dev/biotite). This package is simple to use especially for the beginners in programming and computationally efficient because of the implementation of Numpy and Cython. Biotite consists of four sub packages: sequence, structure, databases, and application. The sequence and structure modules serve for the analysis of sequence and structural data analysis respectively, database downloads files from the other databases such as RCSB PDB, and application provides interface for external software.
The Biotite package bundles popular tasks in computational biology into an unifying framework, which is easy to use on the one hand side, but is also computationally efficient due to intensive usage of NumPy and Cython. This package focuses on working with sequence and structure data and supports various file formats and analysis and manipulation functions.
