Nomenclature

This is still somewhat in flux.[1]

Data format

FASTA: This contains just DNA sequence. The first line starts with '>' and contains the record name.

FASTQ: This contains DNA sequence data with quality scores: The quality scores are indicated by defined characters.

Basic local alignment search tool

Using BLAST

  1. Go to BLAST web site ( http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi ).
