A sequence in PIR format consists of: One line starting with a ">" (greater-than) sign, followed by a two-letter code describing the sequence type (P1, F1, DL, DC, RL, RC, or XX), followed by a semicolon, followed by the sequence identification code (the database ID-code). One line containing a textual description of the sequence. One or more lines containing the sequence itself. The end of the sequence is marked by a "*" (asterisk) character. Optionally, this can be followed by one or more lines describing the sequence. Software that is supposed to read only the sequence should ignore these. A file in PIR format may comprise more than one sequence. The PIR format is also often referred to as the NBRF format. (wikipedia)
