FASTA DNA data

Files with fa file extension can be usually encountered as data files in a special FASTA DNA format used in biochemistry.

Further details:

The fa file extension is typically  used for a special FASTA DNA format used in biochemistry.

The fa file does not contains the chromatogram but only the sequence string (it is much more simple format).

The FASTA programs find regions of local or global (new) similarity between Protein or DNA sequences, either by searching Protein or DNA databases, or by identifying local duplications within a sequence.

Other programs provide information on the statistical significance of an alignment. Like BLAST, FASTA can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

What is the meaning of a file extension?

File extensions are characters that appear after the dot in a computer file's name. For example, the file "unknown-file.fa" has the file extension "fa". This is used to identify which program should open the file or what file type it is.
File extensions help you organize and manage files. They provide a quick and easy way to identify and associate the file type with the appropriate software.
