Description

Version 2 of the FASTA packages contains many programs for performing sequence comparisons, producing local alignments, and other related tasks for analysing DNA and proteins.

Currently, the FASTA2 suite is in maintenance mode. This package provides the analysis tools from FASTA2. The searching programs are available in version 3 of the FASTA packages, which may be found in the port biology/fasta3.

FASTA is described in: W. R. Pearson and D. J. Lipman (1988), "Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Analysis", PNAS 85:2444- 2448, and W. R. Pearson (1990) "Rapid and Sensitive Sequence Comparison with FASTP and FASTA" Methods in Enzymology 183:63- 98).

The FASTA2 suite is distributed freely subject to the condition that it may not be sold or incorporated into a commercial product.

Message after installing

The FASTA3 package has been successfully installed.

NB:  A sample configuration file has been installed to /usr/local/etc as
"fastlibs.sample".  This may be renamed to "fastlibs" and edited
to suit the requirements of a particular site.

In order to use the FASTA3 programs, a user must set the environment
variable FASTLIBS to contain the full path of the FASTA3 configuration
file, e.g.:

- set FASTLIBS to:  "/usr/local/etc/fastlibs"

===>   NOTICE:

The fasta port currently does not have a maintainer. As a result, it is
more likely to have unresolved issues, not be up-to-date, or even be removed in
the future. To volunteer to maintain this port, please create an issue at:
