bio-restriction-sites
Find restriction enzyme cut sites in DNA sequences using Biopython Bio.Restriction. Search with single enzymes, batches of enzymes, or commercially available enzyme sets. Returns cut positions for linear or circular DNA. Use when finding restriction enzyme cut sites in sequences.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: BioPython 1.83+ 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. # Finding Restriction Sites **"Find restriction sites in my DNA sequence"** → Locate cut positions for one or more restriction enzymes in linear or circular DNA. - Python: `Bio.Restriction.Analysis(rb, seq, linear=True).full()` ## Core Pattern ```python from Bio import SeqIO from Bio.Restriction import EcoRI, BamHI, HindIII, RestrictionBatch, Analysis record = SeqIO.read('sequence.fasta', 'fasta') seq = record.seq # Single enzyme sites = EcoRI.search(seq) # Returns list of cut positions ``` ## Search with Single Enzyme ```python from Bio.Restriction import EcoRI sites = EcoRI.search(seq) print(f'EcoRI cuts at positions: {sites}') print(f'Number of sites: {len(sites)}') # Check if enzyme cuts if EcoRI.search(seq): print('EcoRI cuts this sequence') else: print('EcoRI does not cut') ``` ## Search wi

What does the bio-restriction-sites skill do?
Find restriction enzyme cut sites in DNA sequences using Biopython Bio.Restriction. Search with single enzymes, batches of enzymes, or commercially available enzyme sets. Returns cut positions for linear or circular DNA. Use when finding restriction enzyme cut sites in sequences.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill restriction-sites --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
