What is a good value for BLAST?
I'm trying to figure out what would be considered a good value when using BLAST. I understand it's a tool for sequence alignment, but I want to know what constitutes a significant or reliable result in terms of the value it generates.


What are fasta files?
Could you please explain in simple terms what FASTA files are? I've heard the term used in bioinformatics but I'm not entirely sure what they are and how they're used. Are they just a specific type of data file? And if so, what kind of data do they typically contain? I'm really curious to know more about this topic and how it relates to the field of bioinformatics.
