Working with the history¶
Although SnapGene’s history feature is often quite useful, it can also cause your files to grow ridiculously big. You can use AutoSnapGene to clear history in files that don’t need it.
Note
Support for history is currently quite rudimentary, in no small part because history is probably the most complicated aspect of a SnapGene file to parse. If you would like more control over the history, submit a bug report and I’ll try to help you out.
Python API¶
Clear the history from a SnapGene file:
>>> import autosnapgene as snap
>>> dna = snap.parse('pKBK076.dna')
>>> dna.clear_history()
