Extract text from Genomic and mail files (CNR)
To convert CNR Data files to another format, you need CNVkit or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Bioinformatics Data File" file type, you need software like CNVkit or a similar tool.
A .cnr file is most commonly associated with Genomic Copy Number Ratios, a specialized data format generated by CNVkit. These files are essentially tab-separated values (TSV) that store copy number variation (CNV) data, specifically the log2 coverage ratios for genomic bins. Bioinformatics researchers use them to identify duplications or deletions in DNA sequencing data.
However, this extension has a major collision: it is also widely used by Pegasus Mail, a legacy email client, to store individual mail messages in system-wide folders.
The Problem:
For scientists, .cnr files are raw data that managers and non-technical stakeholders cannot view without installing Python libraries or command-line tools. You often need to present this data in Excel or as a visual plot.
For users with old email backups, a .cnr file is a "black box" containing a potentially important email that modern clients like Outlook or Thunderbird cannot import directly.
The Solution:
Convert.Guru analyzes your CNR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, CEI, ENH and MONTE files.
If you want to convert CNR file to , you can use CNVkit or similar software from the "Genomic Copy Number Ratios" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to CNR, try CNVkit or another comparable tool in the "Genomic Copy Number Ratios" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CNR converter.
