#### \_\_init\_\_()


Various utilities to help with genbank specific functionality.


Usage

``` python
__init__()
```


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### muli_fasta_add()


Add selected reference sequences in a multi-FASTA files.


Usage

``` python
muli_fasta_add(target_file, man_file, output_file)
```


##### Parameters


`target_file: str.`  
Target multi-FASTA file.

`man_file: str.`  
A multi-FASTA file with sequences used for appending to the target file.

`output_file: str.`  
The name of the output multi-FASTA file.


##### Returns


`str.`  
A multi-FASTA file with added sequences.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### multi_fasta_manipulator()


Manipulate reference sequences in multifasta files.


Usage

``` python
multi_fasta_manipulator(
    target_file, man_file, output_file, manipulation="remove"
)
```


The original purpose was to filter files created by the GUIDANCE2 alignment program, but this function has been made in order to accommodate other situations as well.


##### Parameters


`target_file: str.`  
Target multi-FASTA file.

`man_file: str.`  
Sequences in a multi-FASTA file used for manipulation.

`manipulation: str. = ``"remove"`  
The type of manipulation. (remove, add, sort, tbd..)

`output_file: str.`  
The name of the output multi-FASTA file.


##### Returns


`str.`  
A multi-FASTA file that has been manipulated accordingly.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### multi_fasta_remove()


Remove selected reference sequences in a multi-FASTA files.


Usage

``` python
multi_fasta_remove(target_file, man_file, output_file)
```


##### Parameters


`target_file: str.`  
Target multi-FASTA file.

`man_file: str.`  
A multi-FASTA file with sequences used for removal from the the target file.

`output_file: str.`  
The name of the output multi-FASTA file.


##### Returns


`str.`  
A multi-FASTA file with removed sequences.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### multi_fasta_sort()


Sorts selected reference sequences in a multi-FASTA files.


Usage

``` python
multi_fasta_sort(target_file, man_file, output_file)
```


##### Parameters


`target_file: str.`  
Target multi-FASTA file.

`man_file: str.`  
A multi-FASTA file with sequences used for sorting the target file.

`output_file: str.`  
The name of the output multi-FASTA file.


##### Returns


`str.`  
A multi-FASTA file with sorted sequences.
