FASTA FORMAT

Each FASTA formatted entry consists of two main elements:

• The header consists of a >name optionally followed by a description.
• The sequence of amino acids.

For example:

• • >name description
  • SEQUENCE
• NOTE: Each sequence begins with a '>'.
• NOTE: The name of each sequence (ending with the first space) must be unique.
• NOTE: The name of each sequence cannot be longer than 32 letters.

Multiple sequences are also accepted, for example:

• • >name_one description may have spaces
  • HALSKJLAKSJLURLJSLDKJ
  • ...
  • >another_name_without_spaces but the description may have spaces
  • LSKJLHARAKSJLLULJSDKJ
  • ...
