FASTA format is a text-based format for representing either
nucleic acid sequences or protein sequences, in which base
pairs or protein residues are represented using single-
letter codes. The format also allows for sequence names and
comments before the sequences.
The simplicity of FASTA format makes it easy to manipulate
and parse sequences using text-processing tools and
scripting languages like Perl.

Answer / neeraj verma
FASTA is a DNA and protein sequence alignment software
package first described (as FASTP)
The FASTA file format used as input for this software is now
largely used by other sequence database search tools (such
as BLAST) and sequence alignment programs (Clustal,
T-Coffee, ...)

Answer / jyotirindra majumdar
FASTA format is a text-based format for representing either
nucleotide sequences or peptide sequences, in which base
pairs or amino acids are represented using single-letter
codes. A sequence in FASTA format begins with a single-line
description, followed by lines of sequence data. The
description line is distinguished from the sequence data by
a greater-than (">") symbol in the first column. It is
recommended that all lines of text be shorter than 80
characters in length.
An example sequence in FASTA format is:
