About this document
FASTA Algorithm for Sequence Alignment by Md. Abdul Mukit is a document available to read on EtoBox.
FASTA is a multistep algorithm for sequence alignment that identifies common k-words between sequences, scores diagonals, rescues initial regions, joins diagonals, and performs dynamic programming for final alignments. It is faster than traditional local alignment methods and can be very specific in identifying regions of low similarity. However, it may lack sensitivity for diverged sequences due to its reliance on initial exact matches.
