what is FASTA format?

Answer Posted / devanshi

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.
