Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: BioPython 1.83+, pandas 2.2+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

• Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

UniProt Access

Query UniProt for protein sequences, functional annotations, and cross-references.

"Get protein information from UniProt" → Fetch sequences, GO terms, domains, and cross-references for a protein accession.

• Python: requests.get(f'https://rest.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/{acc}.json') (UniProt REST API)
• Python: ExPASy.get_sprot_raw(acc) + SwissProt.read() (BioPython)
