Reading the guide for fasttext I am not sure how a non NLP researcher would use it.

"This library can also be used to train supervised text classifiers" - https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText#text-classifica...

Looks like you can use it for gensim. https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/fasttext.html

You could probably throw DNA, RNA or protein sequences at it.

A lot of people do. Here are the academic articles that cite Gensim and contain the word "protein" (4 pages of them):
