Version 2 of the FASTA packages contains many programs for searching DNA and
|
|
protein databases, performing sequence comparisons, producing local
|
|
alignments, and other related tasks.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the FASTA2 suite is in maintenance mode. Updated versions of ONLY
|
|
the searching programs are available in version 3 of the FASTA packages,
|
|
which may be found in the port biology/fasta3.
|
|
|
|
FASTA is described in: W. R. Pearson and D. J. Lipman (1988), "Improved
|
|
Tools for Biological Sequence Analysis", PNAS 85:2444- 2448, and W. R.
|
|
Pearson (1990) "Rapid and Sensitive Sequence Comparison with FASTP and FASTA"
|
|
Methods in Enzymology 183:63- 98).
|
|
|
|
The FASTA2 suite is distributed freely subject to the condition that it may
|
|
not be sold or incorporated into a commercial product.
