💖 FILTER-GENBANK(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual — this is the page for filter-genbank and filter-record, two little icons whose whole personality is filtering structured files. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

filter-genbank, filter-record — filter structured files 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

filter-genbank [-accession acc|-accessions file] [-taxid id|
-taxids file] [-organism name] [-exclude str] [-require str] [-truncate]

filter-record [-pattern str] [-exclude str] [-require str] [-min N]
[-max N]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea, bestie: these commands are lowkey just glorified shortcuts. They simply invoke the corresponding transmute(1) modes — no extra lore, no secret sauce, that's literally it. 😌

Every one of them reads a stream of data from standard input, filters it however you asked, and writes the result out to standard output. Stream in, stream out, main character energy. 💫

More specifically:

  • filter-genbank = transmute -gbf. It filters NCBI GenBank/GenPept release flatfiles and it's giving data-curation. 🧚
  • filter-record = transmute -txf. It filters any text file whose records all start with the same distinct string — like, every single one, no exceptions, that's the whole vibe check. ⭐

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

See transmute(1). ✨ (fr fr, that's where the actual flag lore lives — this page is just the cute lil forwarding address. 🫶)
