FASTA Format
The FASTA format is a plain text format which looks something like this:
>myseq AGTCGTCGCT AGCTAGCTAG CATCGAGTCT TTTCGATCGA GGACTAGACT TCTAGCTAGC TAGCATAGCA TACGAGCATA TCGGTCATGA GACTGATTGG GCTTTAGCTA GCTAGCATAG CATACGAGCA TATCGGTAGA CTGATTGGGT TTAGGTTACC
The first line starts with a greater than sign ">" and contains a name or other identifier for the sequence. This is the sequence header and must be in a single line. The remaining lines contain the sequence data. The sequence can be in upper or lower case letters. Anything other than letters (numbers for example) is ignored. Multiple sequences can be present in the same file as long as each sequence has its own header.
