The "elephas maximus maximus" should actually have brackets on either sides of it, but I cannot figure out how to do that while still having it be an internal link. If anyone knows how, please do so. Turnstep

The page says: FASTA is pronounced "FAST-Aye"
That leads to the question of "how do I pronounce Aye"?
It is most often pronounced like 'eye' as in the naval expression Aye-Aye but could I suppose sound like the capital letter A! Neither of which are how fasta is pronounced around here.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.85.79 ( talk • contribs) 21:30, 1 November 2006
When I first learned it, it was FAST(long A), but at that time FASTP and FASTN were still around, and BLAST was still in development. The history might have been forgotten by now. Gah4 ( talk) 21:53, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
this ca be confused with FASTA file format (*.fasta) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fedra ( talk • contribs) 19:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
If no one objects, I'm going to put one of those "You may be looking for.." at the top for people who were looking for the FASTA file format. I've ended up here multiple times looking for the file format, and only figured out that there's a separate article after reading a good deal of this one.
And I'd bet a great deal that most people who end up here were looking for the file format. After years in different classes and research labs, I've seen that everyone knows about the file format and they all refer to it as "FASTA" or "FASTA format." And I've never heard anyone mention the software package. In conclusion, I think we need a notice and also very interesting to learn about the history of the format!
Here's what I'll put up if there are no objections:

The article mentions FASTP, and then transitions to FASTA, but FASTA was combining FASTP and FASTN into one program. When was FASTN, and can this be included in the article? Gah4 ( talk) 23:37, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
Dear editor, the recent addition of TREE2FASTA to the 'The Process' section is not appropriate as it does not relate to the FASTA program. Please see above section "Confusion with FASTA file format". TREE2FASTA does not rely on the FASTA program but the FASTA format. It is a perl script utility to rapidly sort FASTA-formatted sequence data from exploratory trees. TREE2FASTA allows users to rapidly choose sequences of interest among a pool of initial sequences via coloring/annotating on a tree.
TREE2FASTA could be added to the FASTA format wikipedia page /info/en/?search=FASTA_format In this page, a new section called "Sorting FASTA files" could be created to describe the different possible ways/program of sorting sequences of interest can be done. TREE2FASTA represents a tool to do so among other possible programs, but TREE2FASTA represents an improvement by allowing sorting via visualisation on a tree, while other programs only work via input lists of sequence headers.
Please advise how one can help to frame an appropriate paragraph if of interest to create such section in the FASTA format wikipedia page
