When subsetting the seq slot environment information is included as a slot in the resulting object. Subsetting ggMgDb13.5 produced a 1.6 Gb object. But when saving as a fasta file and reading back into R the object was only 3.4 Mb. See code in inst/scripts/make_mockMgDb.R for subsetting gg13.5MgDb.

no longer relevant with new MgDb class definition
