I have a big gbk file containing multiple gbks, is there any simple way to split this big gbk into small gbks Thanks.

I haven't tried it out but 'seqretsplit' from the EMBOSS package might do what you want. Otherwise it's a quick script in Bioperl or Biopython, e.g. in BioPython (untested)
Run like python splitgbk.py < input.gbk
Will create a file for each entry in the current directory.
-- splitgbk.py
Code:from Bio import SeqIO import sys for rec in SeqIO.parse(sys.stdin, "genbank"): SeqIO.write([rec], open(rec.id + ".gbk", "w"), "genbank")

If you want one file per record, try EMBOSS seqret and the -ossingle_outseq option.
EDIT: That probably does the same as EMBOSS seqretsplit suggested by Nick while I was writing this.
Do you just want to break it up into batches, say 10 records in each file? Or, do you have a particular order in mind (which could involve either sorting or random access).

split genbank files using awk
awk -v n=1 '/^\/\//{close("out"n);n++;next} {print > "out"n}' yourfilename.gbk
Split yourfilename.gbk into multiple files by splitting at "//" (end of record) line.Last edited by Richard Finney; 03-20-2012, 09:51 AM.

Thanos - which scripting languages do you know? GenBank records end with a // line (which is what Richard's awk command exploits) so it is very simple to split up a file into sub-files named however you like using Perl, Python or Ruby.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
