FASTA data input

Double click BlastStation-FSA icon, which is in the Applications folder.

Click here. Example FASTA data will be shown in the browser.  Copy and paste it in the Sequences text box.  FASTA data format is defined here and multi-FASTA data format is defined here.

Only blastn is available in the Program section.  This is because the FASTA data are DNA sequences.  If the data are protein sequences, blastp will be available.  If blastn is selected, DNA databases will be shown in the Database pull down menu.  If blastp is selected, protein databases will be shown on the other hand.  Two databases, NucleotideExample and ProteinExample, are installed with BlastStation-FSA.  You can use them for testing.
