Filter Genbank

Recommended Workflow

1. Start from real GenBank flatfile content, typically from efetch.
2. Pipe it through filter-genbank rather than relying on positional filenames.
3. Inspect the first filtered records before running a large batch.
4. Pass the result to the next EDirect or archival step once the output looks right.

Guardrails

• This is a thin wrapper around transmute -gbf, so transmute must be on PATH.
• --help and --version are not implemented here; both are reported as unrecognized arguments.
• Prefer stdin or pipes over undocumented positional-file behavior.
• Because the actual filtering rules live inside transmute, validate on a representative GenBank sample before batching.
