Thank-you all for replying,
It's just as Jason suggests - Genbank, FASTA & EMBL are more or less
the defacto standards, I suspect FASTA will be phased out because (to
my knowledge) it does not support gene annotation, nevertheless, they
are all text based.
These formats usually insert linebreaks

Another model would be to just insert newl

Hello,
As a software developer I've used git for years and have found it the
perfect solution for source control.
Lately I have found myself using git in a unique use-case - modifying
DNA/RNA sequences and storing them in git, which are essentially
software/source code for cells/life. For Bacteri
