Wanted: extract clade #3

Open josephwb opened 6 years ago

josephwb commented 6 years ago

I'd like to pitch everything outside my clade of interest. In part, this is to reduce the db size (vrt currently clocks in at 12.6 GB).

Not a huge priority.

blackrim commented 6 years ago

Would you want this on the building of the db or after? Still has to download a bunch of things regardless because you don't know what is included in each genbank file.

josephwb commented 6 years ago

Hmm. Either, I guess? Maybe the latter if one were interested in doing multiple things in vrt (i.e., just download the entire thing once).

josephwb commented 5 years ago

Is this doable? Working with the whole vrt db is cumbersome.

I can accomplish this with the new delete functions (i.e. delete stuff outside my clade of interest). A wrapper would be nice (i.e., retain clade X, or delete all not-X), but I can work with this.
