The FASTA programs find regions of local or global similarity between Protein or DNA sequences, either by searching Protein or DNA databases, or by identifying local duplications within a sequence. Other programs provide information on the statistical significance of an alignment. Like BLAST, FASTA can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

Using fasta36

 To initialize the environment use the module command:

[elx]% module avail
[elx]% module load tools/fasta   # alternatively use module load xray
[elx]% which fasta36
/opt/xray/fasta/bin/fasta36
 
# you should be able to use databases in /software/blast/db
