Gene File Management System 🧬

• A desktop-based bioinformatics tool built using Python, Tkinter, SQLite, and Biopython for managing gene sequences in FASTA format. This tool simplifies uploading, storing, searching, exporting, and downloading gene data (including directly from NCBI).

---

🔧 Features

• Upload FASTA files and store gene sequences in a local SQLite database
• Prevents duplicate gene entries
• View and search genes via an intuitive GUI (Tkinter)
• Delete and export gene records (CSV)
• Download gene sequences directly from NCBI using Biopython

---

🖥️ Technologies Used

• Python 3
• Tkinter – for GUI
• SQLite – for lightweight local database
• Biopython – for sequence parsing and NCBI integration

---## 🧪 How to Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone ## 🧪 https://github.com/DurviBhati/Gene-File-Management-System
   

2. Install dependencies (optional for Biopython):

   pip install biopython

🚀 Future Scope

• Add visualization tools (e.g., GC content graphs).
• Advanced gene filtering options.
• Cloud-based storage and multi-user access.
• Web version of the tool.
