About HTS files

HTS files, commonly associated with high-throughput sequencing data, are crucial in bioinformatics for storing large datasets efficiently. Despite their utility, converting HTS files can be quite challenging due to their complex structure and the specialized software required to handle them.

One of the primary drawbacks of HTS files is their limited compatibility with standard data analysis tools, necessitating conversion to more widely-used formats like FASTA, FASTQ, or CSV for broader accessibility and analysis. Specialized software such as SAMtools and NCBI SRA Toolkit are often required for these conversions. For those interested in learning more about HTS files, you can refer to the Wikipedia page on high-throughput sequencing.

Converting HTS files can pose challenges, including data integrity issues during conversion, and potential loss of metadata. It is crucial to ensure that the software used for conversion supports the desired output format. Additionally, conversions might require substantial computational resources, which can be a limiting factor for some users.

To overcome these challenges, Convert.Guru offers a simple and reliable solution. The website provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to drag and drop HTS files for conversion into various formats, including FASTA, FASTQ, and CSV, ensuring data integrity and ease of use.

The HTS Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best HTS converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
