Sequence Removal

This feature is the opposite of sequence extraction feature. It removes sequences based on a list of IDs or a regular expression. It is faster than sequence extraction if you remove less than a half of the sequences.

Steps​

  1. Select the Alignment button from the navigation bar.
  2. Select Remove sequences from the dropdown menu.
  3. Add the input files by clicking the Add file button. On desktop platforms, you can also input a directory by clicking the Add directory button. The app will look for matching files in the directory.
  4. Select the option to remove sequences based on a list of IDs or a regular expression.
  5. Add the list of IDs or regular expression.
  6. Add the output directory by clicking the Add directory button.
  7. Select the output sequence format.
  8. Click the Run button labeled Remove to start the task.

Removal Options​

Remove by ID​

The IDs should be separated by semicolon (;). For example, seq1;seq2;seq3.

Remove by Regular Expression​

SEGUI uses Rust regex. The regular expression should be a valid regex pattern. For example, seq[0-9]+ will remove all sequences with IDs like seq1, seq2, seq3, and so on.
