Although the FASTA format is most often used as input to formatdb, the use of ASN.1 is advantageous for those who are using ASN.1 as the common source for other formats such as the GenBank report. The opposite of operation of formatdb, extracting sequences from a blast formatted database, can be achieved by using the fastacmd program, which ...
In bioinformatics and biochemistry, the FASTA format is a text-based format for representing either nucleotide sequences or amino acid (protein) sequences, in which nucleotides or amino acids are represented using single-letter codes.
FASTX-Toolkit is a set of command line tools to manipulate reads in files FASTA or FASTQ format. These commands make possible preprocess the files before mapping with tools like Bowtie . Some of the tasks allowed are: conversion from FASTQ to FASTA format, information about statistics of quality, removing sequencing adapters, filtering and ...

Slider is an application for the Illumina Sequence Analyzer output that uses the "probability" files instead of the sequence files as an input for alignment to a reference sequence or a set of reference sequences. Yes Yes No No [53] [54] 2009-2010 SOAP, SOAP2, SOAP3, SOAP3-dp SOAP: robust with a small (1-3) number of gaps and mismatches.
A FASTQ file has four line-separated fields per sequence: Field 1 begins with a '@' character and is followed by a sequence identifier and an optional description (like a FASTA title line). Field 2 is the raw sequence letters. Field 3 begins with a '+' character and is optionally followed by the same sequence identifier (and any description) again.
FASTA is a DNA and protein sequence alignment software package first described by David J. Lipman and William R. Pearson in 1985. [1] Its legacy is the FASTA format which is now ubiquitous in bioinformatics .
The extensible NEXUS file format is widely used in phylogenetics, evolutionary biology, and bioinformatics.It stores information about taxa, morphological character states, DNA and protein sequence alignments, distances, and phylogenetic trees. [1]
