Body: <p>Does any one have a condensed NCBI reference seq database with all the gbff files, which covers mostly all the bacteria and archaea. The current NCBI ReqSeq contains more than 30,000 gbff files. I am looking for a much more curated refseq with less than 30K files in it.</p>

Comments.Text: Please add more context to this question to explain why you need a reduced refseq dataset. There are lots of different reasons for this, and those reasons will change how the reduction is carried out.
