+The Biopython Project is an international association of developers of
+freely available Python tools for computational molecular biology.
+
+The Biopython web site provides an online resource for modules,
+scripts, and web links for developers of Python-based software for
+bioinformatics use and research. Basically, the goal of Biopython is
+to make it as easy as possible to use Python for bioinformatics by
+creating high-quality, reusable modules and classes. Biopython
+features include parsers for various Bioinformatics file formats
+(BLAST, Clustalw, FASTA, Genbank,...), access to online services
+(NCBI, Expasy,...), interfaces to common and not-so-common programs
+(Clustalw, DSSP, MSMS,...), a standard sequence class, various
+clustering modules, a KD tree data structure etc. and even
+documentation.
+
+If you use Biopython in work contributing to a scientific publication,
+please cite the application note (below) or one of the module specific
+publications (listed on Biopython's website):
