Bioinformatics with Python Cookbook - Second Edition

Getting ready

As with the previous recipe, we do not require any pre-downloaded data, but as we are using web APIs, internet access will be needed. The amount of data transferred will be limited.

As usual, you can find this content in the Chapter03/Gene_Ontology.ipynb Notebook file. We will make use of the do_request function, which is defined in the first step of the previous recipe (Finding orthologues with the Ensembl REST API). To draw GO trees, we will use pygraphviz, a graph-drawing library.
