The CryptoGenotyper FASTA output file.

One of the results file the CryptoGenotyper generates is a FASTA (.fa) file. For both gene target analyses, a header is outputted at the beginning of the file indicating the run parameters (reference file, program mode, forward and reverse primer names). (A) For the SSU rRNA gene target analysis, the sample name and species identified along with its corresponding sequence are outputted. (B) For the gp60 gene target analysis, the output consists of the same name, species, and subtype, followed by the sequence. This file is designed to allow the user to input it directly into BLAST for further analysis, if desired.
