An FSA file contains data on DNA fragments. It is created by machines used to analyze DNA sequences. The data help determine genotypes. The file is formatted to store directories of tag names, numbers, codes and more. FSA files belong to ABIFF format from Applied Biosystems.
The software collects data during electrophoresis. This separates macromolecules by size. FSA files store records of fragments. They include machine model, run times, and so on. The ABIF format uses key-value pairs to associate data elements.
FSA can also mean FASTA file format. FASTA is for DNA and protein sequence alignments.
Programs for Windows can use FSA files. FSA is a document file type like 574 others listed in databases. Windows Notepad handles these files.
Determine your FSA file format. To do so, try opening it in a text editor. If it starts with “>” plus characters, it is likely FASTA format. If the content is garbled, then it is Ab1 format. Use the right software depending on the format. This helps you open and use the FSA file effectively.
