I was wondering if it would be possible to add a “remove.group” option analogous to the remove.seqs command.  
Being able to cull all the sequences associated with one particular sample from your group, fasta, and name files would be a big time saver.  
Especially when working with large pyro datasets.  
Best,

Thanks for the suggestion, we’re putting it on the list of features for a future release.
