FASTA files

Retrieve nucleotide sequences (fasta files) of yeast cytosolic and mitochondrial Gly-tRNA and submit them to RNA folding to obtain their secondary (cloverleal) structures and thermochemical data of foldings. 

Retrieve nucleotide sequence (fasta file) and atomic coordinates (pdb file) of yeast Asp-tRNA. Perform folding analysis/molecular modeling to display graphics of the following ... 

Fig. 2. Each sequence can be pasted in, in FASTA format, uploaded as a FASTA file, or entered as an accession number along with the available annotation (A). Alternatively, sequences can be fetched from the UCSC Genome Browser individually using the Upload function (A), or in groups (Batch Upload System) Browser (B). Once sequences have been uploaded, the program acknowledges the receipt (C).

Except for the FASTA file name, the motif width, and -n, which indicates that the FASTA file contains nucleotide data, the other parameters are strictly optional. However, note that if an estimate of the total number of sites and the maximum number of sites allowed per sequence are not specified, Gibbs will default to a site sampling mode in which exactly one site will be identified in each sequence, a behavior that is generally not desirable for phylogenetic footprinting. 

Evaluation of the sequences quality. Once the raw data is processed, ANACONDA generates a report showing rejected ORFs and a small description of the rejection. Valid ORFs, using particular set of filters, are shown on a specific menu Valid Tab on the left panel of the screen (Fig. 1). ORFs excluded from analysis appear in the Rejected Tab of the same panel. This allows simple visual inspection of all sequences present in the original FASTA files. 

In most cases, data presented by this software is calculated based on the ORF or ORF set selected in the left panel of the main window. If a special set of ORFs is to be analyzed it must be formatted as a FASTA file containing the chosen ORFs and then be opened by ANACONDA at later stage. 

The following example shows how BioPerl can be used to read protein sequences from a FASTA file and find signal peptide cleavage sites. The file format is inferred from the file extension. fa. 

Given a FASTA file storing the sequences with the same length, using PAS kpssm.pl to calculate the relative base composition of the sequences. This script mainly contains the following options ... 

Specify a directory containing multiple input FASTA files. 

An ExPASy-TagIdent search was conducted to retrieve all bacterial proteins having an MW within 10 Da of the MW of the protein biomarker ion. In addition, the protein pi range of 0.00-14.00 was selected. Both UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL databases were included in the search. This search should retrieve hundreds of bacterial protein sequences in a single FASTA file. 

The multisequence FASTA file was uploaded to the GPMAW software (version 8.01a5) and processed to produce individual text files containing in silico fragment ions for each protein sequence. The header line of each text file shows the ExPASy accession nunaber, the protein name. 

Use the Browse function to upload your FASTA file and choose Submit. Figure 4.10 shows an example Hierarchy View of community composition from a FASTA file related to a methanogenic cathode-associated microbial community.
