Talk:FASTA format

FASTA file specifications

I didn't know how much of the FASTA file specifications were to be implemented (supported), so for the REXX example (version 2), I took what I could glean from the WIKI article and supported:

  • blank lines
  • lines that start with a semicolon [;]
  • lines that end with an asterisk [*]
  • data lines that contain blanks, tabs, and other whitespace

No attempt was made to format lines that contain   ␋   (vertical tabs, U+0000B) which can be used to specify multiple lines in one record. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 20:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
