meg is the native format of the MEGA software. Download and install the command-line or GUI-version of the software, open the fasta in MEGA and save it as . meg file. That should be everything you need.

Yes Prithvi Singh , you can convert FASTa files to FASTq files.

I want to share it when the memory is still fresh.

1. If your fasta taxa names contain space ” “. Go to the file and use “edit” “replace” and replace all the spaces into underline “_”.
2. If your file is “txt” Mega won’t recognize it.
3. Then open mega, file, open file, choose “analysis”.
4. Export the file in Nexus format.

PHYLIP format is a plain text format containing exactly two sections: a header describing the dimensions of the alignment, followed by the multiple sequence alignment itself.

To open the text editor, click File | Edit a Text File from the main MEGA menu. In the window that opens, select File | Open and use the file browser to navigate to the MEGA/Examples directory.

A sequence in FASTA format begins with a single-line description, followed by lines of sequence data. The description line is distinguished from the sequence data by a greater-than (“>”) symbol in the first column. It is recommended that all lines of text be shorter than 80 characters in length.

FASTA to store the reference genome/transcriptome that the sequence fragments will be mapped to. FASTQ to store the sequence fragments before mapping. SAM/BAM to store the sequence fragments after mapping.

1. Open NCBI website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
2. Select the Protein (ALL databases), write the name of protein.
3. The list obtained, choice the specific protein click on that.
4. Just below the name of the protein, FASTA is written, click on it.
5. You get new page having full information of protein sequence for example :

PHYLIP is a free package of programs for inferring phylogenies. It is distributed as source code, documentation files, and a number of different types of executables.

Get me PHYLIP now Whenever PHYLIP is packaged as a single archive, it does include the all of the source code and documentation. The Windows executables, documents, and sources are in the form of a Zip archive. To extract it, put it in a directory by itself and right-click on the icon of the archive.

Here it is!

1. Download MegaDownloader.
2. Download VLC Player.
3. Configure MegaDownlaoder: Go to “Options”, “Configuration”, “Streaming”, check the option “Use streaming server”, check the VLC path is correct.
4. Copy a MEGA link of a video file (avi, flv, mkv, mp4, etc).
5. A screen will appear, select “Watch online”.
6. Enjoy!

You can also convert between these formats by using command line tools. On Windows install WSL, on Mac or Linux start terminal Or you can use this site as online fasta to phylip converter by selecting your formats & file.

Input format: fasta This refers to the input FASTA file format introduced for Bill Pearson’s FASTA tool, where each record starts with a ‘>’ line. Resulting sequences have a generic alphabet by default. Output format: phylip An alignment format.

The flattening process removes all the headers and new lines from the sequences. This may not be desired if the original fasta file is very large. Using the –inplace option will keep the headers in place, keeping a valid fasta file, but will remove all the new line characters.

The first number at the very top is the number of sequences followed by the length of the sequences. The first column is the Sequence ID that needs to be 8 characters long followed by 2 blank spaces and then the actual sequence. If the SequenceID is longer than 8 characters, then the extra characters should be removed.
