FASTA Format

A sequence expressed with the FASTA format consists of :

1. A title line, beginning with one `>' symbol, which do not form part of the title.
2. The sequence itself (containing possible newlines and spaces) and continuing until end is reached.

All the lines preceding the title line are ignored
