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 Tabular Data File" file type, you need software like CNVkit or a similar tool.
A .CNR file is a Genomic Copy Number Ratios file primarily generated by the CNVkit bioinformatics toolkit. It functions as a structured tabular data file containing normalized log2 ratios, start and end coordinates, read depths, and reliability weights for small genomic bins. Outside of genomics, this extension is occasionally used by Pegasus Mail to store systemwide public folder messages, or as legacy Click'N'Run installation packages for Linux.
The main disadvantage of the .CNR format is its highly specialized nature. It is heavily tied to command-line bioinformatics pipelines and lacks native support in standard operating systems. Web browsers and common spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel will refuse to open it out of the box because they do not recognize the extension. Additionally, these files often contain massive datasets spanning millions of rows. Opening them improperly in generic tools can corrupt the scientific notation of critical values like the log2 ratios.
Converting .CNR files into standard data formats is frequently necessary for cross-platform data modeling. The best conversion targets are CSV and TSV for analysis in Python or R, and VCF (Variant Call Format) for integrating structural variants into other genomic pipelines. Converting to generic formats makes the data readable, but you lose the direct integration required for subsequent CNVkit segmentation commands.
Because this file is a niche scientific format, standard online document converters fail to process it. Generic converters do not understand the underlying tab-separated architecture. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view its internal structure, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can safely bypass the unrecognized extension, inspect the tabular genomic columns, and export the raw data to universal spreadsheet formats without mangling your numeric weights.
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.
