Which of the following is wrong about FASTA Sequence Format?
(a) The FASTA sequence format includes a comment line identified by a “>” character in the first column followed by the name and origin of the sequence
(b) The FASTA sequence format includes the sequence in standard one-letter symbols
(c) This format provides a very convenient way to copy just the sequence part from one window to another because there are no numbers or other nonsequence characters within the sequence
(d) The presence of ‘*’ is not quite essential for reading the sequence correctly by some sequence analysis programs
The question was posed to me in quiz.
This interesting question is from Sequence Formats & Computer Storage of Sequences in section Collecting & Storing Sequences in Laboratory of Bioinformatics
