Description

The FASTA programs find regions of local or global (new) 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.

Environment Modules

Run module spider fasta to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

HPC_FASTA_DIR - installation directory
HPC_FASTA_BIN - executable directory

Available documentation

Several man pages are available:

fasta3, fastf3, fasts3, map_db, prss3, pvcomp

Type "man MANPAGE" to access them at the command line.
