What is MUT file?
The file in the MUT format belongs to the Misc Files category. The creator of this file is Broad Institute. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Integrative Genomics Viewer Mutations List appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Integrative Genomics Viewer to handle this file. This is a program created by Broad Institute.
How to open MUT file?
An often recurring problem with Integrative Genomics Viewer Mutations List is that MUT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MUT, 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 MUT 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 Integrative Genomics Viewer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Integrative Genomics Viewer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Integrative Genomics Viewer in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MUT with Integrative Genomics Viewer. Below you will find a list of applications that support MUT files.
Programs to open MUT file
Remember to download programs supporting MUT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Integrative Genomics Viewer with MUT files
If, despite the installed application, the MUT file does not start in the Integrative Genomics Viewer application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Integrative Genomics Viewer application as the default for handling the MUT file.
Step 3. Update Integrative Genomics Viewer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Integrative Genomics Viewer with Integrative Genomics Viewer Mutations List there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Broad Institute website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MUT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MUT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 MUT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MUT 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 MUT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MUT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Broad Institute, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MUT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move MUT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MUT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MUT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MUT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
