# scikit-bio

## Overview

scikit-bio is a comprehensive Python library for working with biological data. Apply this skill for bioinformatics analyses spanning sequence manipulation, alignment, phylogenetics, microbial ecology, and multivariate statistics.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when the user:
- Works with biological sequences (DNA, RNA, protein)
- Needs to read/write biological file formats (FASTA, FASTQ, GenBank, Newick, BIOM, etc.)
- Performs sequence alignments or searches for motifs
- Constructs or analyzes phylogenetic trees
- Calculates diversity metrics (alpha/beta diversity, UniFrac distances)
