.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Script wrapping SeqIO that allows partitioning of multiple sequence files into near equal sized parts for later parallel processing. Even if you have 10 input files outputting to 10 files will balance the files to contain similar total length of sequence. \s-1ID\s0's are ignored when deciding on how to balance each sequence.
