  1. FASTA and BLAST

  2. FASTA: Introduction • FASTA  (pronounced FAST-Aye) stands for FAST-All, reflecting the fact that it can be used for a fast protein comparison or a fast nucleotide comparison • This is achieved by performing optimized searches for local alignments using a substitution matrix. • The high speed of this program is achieved by using the observed pattern of word hits to identify potential matches before attempting the more time consuming optimized search.

  4. FASTA sequence format

  5. FASTA Compares a protein sequence to another protein sequence or to a protein database • FASTX/FASTY Compares a DNA sequence to a protein sequence database, translating the DNA sequence in three forward (or reverse) frames and allowing frameshifts.

  6. TFASTX/TFASTY Compares a protein sequence to a DNA sequence or DNA sequence library. The DNA sequence is translated in three forward and three reverse frames, and the protein query sequence is compared to each of the six derived protein sequences. • FASTF/TFASTF Compares an ordered peptide mixture • FASTS/TFASTS Compares set of short peptide fragments, as would be obtained from mass-spec.
