What is fasta file?
File type category:
Various data file
Date updated: November 11, 2022
The fasta file extension is related to a FASTA format that does not contain the chromatogram but only the sequence string (it is much more simple format).
The FASTA programs find regions of local or global (new) similarity between Protein or DNA sequences, either by searching Protein or DNA databases, or by identifying local duplications within a sequence.
Other programs provide information on the statistical significance of an alignment. Like BLAST, FASTA can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.
