The format is: > sequence description sequence (60 letters) sequence (60 letters) For more info, reed this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTA_format 2007/11/10, Spiros Denaxas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Nov 8, 3:42 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Auxence Sima) wrote: > > i have Sequence Data in a file that i named " OUTPUT.TXT",and hereis my > question.
