The MULT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MULT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MULT file on each system platform.
What is MULT file?
The MULT file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. SAM Alignment Output is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others. The Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh.
How to open MULT file?
The most common problem when using SAM Alignment Output is that a specific MULT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MULT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MULT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sequence Alignment and Modeling system
In this case, you should first verify that the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sequence Alignment and Modeling system into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MULT with Sequence Alignment and Modeling system. Below you will find a list of applications that support MULT files.
Programs to open MULT file
Remember to download programs supporting MULT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sequence Alignment and Modeling system with MULT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MULT file still does not use the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application as the default for handling the MULT file.
Step 3. Update Sequence Alignment and Modeling system to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system program with the SAM Alignment Output file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MULT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MULT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MULT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MULT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MULT files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MULT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MULT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MULT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MULT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MULT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MULT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
