Collection of programs for searching DNA and protein databases
Version 3 of the FASTA packages contains many programs for searching DNA and protein databases and one program (prss3) for evaluating statistical significance from randomly shuffled sequences. Several additional analysis programs, including programs that produce local alignments, are available as part of version 2 of the FASTA package, which is available as the port biology/fasta. FASTA is described in: W. R. Pearson and D. J. Lipman (1988), "Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Analysis", PNAS 85:2444-2448; W. R. Pearson (1996) "Effective protein sequence comparison" Meth. Enzymol. 266:227-258; Pearson et. al. (1997) Genomics 46:24-36; Pearson, (1999) Meth. in Molecular Biology 132:185-219. The FASTA3 suite is distributed freely subject to the condition that it may not be sold or incorporated into a commercial product.
