Скачать или смотреть Biopython Lesson 10 | Reading Multiple FASTA Sequences & GenBank Files

Welcome to Lesson 10 of the Biopython Course, where we learn how to work with real biological data files used in bioinformatics: FASTA files with multiple sequences and GenBank files.

In this lesson, you will understand how bioinformatics tools read and process large datasets containing many sequences and rich biological information.

In this lesson, you will learn:
How a single FASTA file can contain multiple DNA sequences
The difference between SeqIO.read() and SeqIO.parse()
How to read multiple sequences from a FASTA file using SeqIO.parse()
What GenBank files are and how they differ from FASTA files
How to read a GenBank file using Biopython
How to access sequence information, annotations, and features from a GenBank record

This lesson is a major step toward real-world bioinformatics analysis, where handling multiple sequences and annotated files is essential.
