Description
After an update to Biopython, we suddenly got many type errors that uses code from that library.
Here we implemented a patch, but it doesn't solve the underlying issue.
Ideally, we should wrap Biopython classes with our owns that will provide additional type safety.

Research direction
Start by reviewing commit 59757f857815bbd8a5b19db19bd6f5b2305e37f5 and the type errors introduced after the Biopython update. Identify the Biopython classes used by the project and determine which need typed wrappers. Done means the underlying type errors are addressed through those wrappers rather than only by the existing patch.
