A Thread!

Sequences.
A core concept in Biopython is the biological sequence, and this is represented by the Seq class. A Biopython Seq object is similar to a Python string in many respects: it supports the Python slice notation, can be concatenated with other sequences and is immutable.

Sequence annotation.
The SeqRecord class describes sequences along with information such as name description and features in the form of SeqFeature objects. Each SeqFeature object specifies the type of the feature and its location.

Feature types can be gene CDS coding sequence repeat_region mobile_element or others, and the position of features in the sequence can be exact or approximate.

Input and output.
Biopython can read and write to a number of common sequence formats, including FASTA, FASTQ, GenBank, Clustal, PHYLIP and NEXUS

Phylogeny.
The Bio.Phylo module provides tools for working with and visualising phylogenetic trees

Genome diagrams.
The GenomeDiagram module provides methods of visualizing sequences within Biopython.

Population genetics.
Bio.PopGen module adds support to Biopython for Genepop, a software package for statistical analysis of population genetics. This allows for analyses of Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, linkage disequilibrium and other features of a population's allele frequencies
