Technical Questions
If you are working on Windows you may want to switch on viewing of file name extensions (In File Explorer under View, in the Show/hide group, select the File name extensions check box). For instance tab separated value files (.tsv) may be opened in any text editor or by drag and drop in an open but empty Excel table. Fasta (.fasta) and genbank (.gbk) files may be opened in a text editor or by specialized software.
