Abstract
This appendix discusses a few of the file formats frequently encountered in bioinformatics. Specifically, it reviews the rules for generating FASTA files and provides guidance for interpreting NCBI descriptor lines, commonly found in FASTA files. In addition, it reviews the construction of GenBank, Phylip, MSF and Nexus files.
Keywords: file format; FASTA; NCBI descriptor lines; GenBank; Phylip; MSF; Nexus
