This is a library for parsing and working with Genbank (.gb) files written in

Rust. It supports reading, writing, and extracting parts of a sequence while

retaining feature annotations.

It should be able to handle most files out there. Feedback, improvements, and

details of any .gb files it chokes on are welcome!

### Example

Reverse complement a sequence, retaining feature annotations.

```rust

extern crate gb_io;

use std::fs::File;

use std::io;

use gb_io::reader::SeqReader;

fn main() {

    let file = File::open("mg1655.gb").unwrap();

    let stdout = io::stdout();

    for seq in SeqReader::new(file) {

        let seq = seq.unwrap();

        let rc = seq.revcomp();

        rc.write(stdout.lock()).unwrap();

    }

}

```

### Python bindings

[Martin Larralde](https://github.com/althonos) has written [Python

bindings](https://pypi.org/project/gb-io/) for `gb-io`'s parser.
