[Q] resources to teach myself reading bioinformatics files such as fasta, fastq

Hi all,

I am working as a statistician and trying to expand my knowledge and skills to cover bioinformatics, but I am totally new to bioinformatics. Somehow, I got to understand that bioinformatics tasks require reading data files, not only in .xlsx or .csv, but also something like fasta, fastq. I wonder if there are books or other resources that I could teach myself about these. Any recommendations and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
