Extract text from Phylogenetic tree or memo files (DND)
To convert DND Trees or memos to another format, you need ClustalW or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Phylogenetic Tree Data" file type, you need software like ClustalW or a similar tool.
A .DND file is primarily a Phylogenetic Guide Tree generated by sequence alignment software like ClustalW or ClustalX. It stores evolutionary relationship data, mapping how different biological sequences relate to one another using Distance Neighbor-Joining methods. Less commonly, a .DND file acts as a digital note created by the ACECAD DigiMemo smartpad, or as an input file for the DNDC Simulation Model.
The main disadvantage of .DND files is their highly specialized and often proprietary nature. If the file is a phylogenetic tree, standard text editors will only display raw, hard-to-read distance metrics rather than the intended visual tree. If it is an ACECAD digital memo, it is a closed, proprietary format that requires outdated manufacturer software to view. These files cannot be opened natively by web browsers or standard image viewers. Users typically need to convert bioinformatics .DND files to universal TXT or .NWK (Newick) formats for compatibility with tree-rendering tools like FigTree. For DigiMemo files, users seek to convert the handwritten vector data into standard PDF or JPG documents.
Because both Clustal trees and DigiMemo notes are non-standard formats, typical online converters fail to process them. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DND file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DNG, DS, ALN, ALI and EDT files.
If you want to convert DND file to , you can use ClustalW or similar software from the "Phylogenetic Guide Tree Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to DND, try ClustalW or another comparable tool in the "Phylogenetic Guide Tree Storage" 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 DND converter.
