What is a .WEIGHTS file extension?

.WEIGHTS file extension is created by Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh. .WEIGHTS has been classified as Various data Files.

.WEIGHTS is SAM sequence weights data

The weights file extension is associated with SAM (Sequence Alignment and Modeling system), a software for working with Markov models for biological sequence analysis.

The weights files contain sequence of weights.

.WEIGHTS file format is deprecated and this file format is no longer supported.

Currently, .WEIGHTS file type is not actively used and is obsolete. This usually happens with system files in older operating systems, files from long-discontinued software, or with previous versions of some file types (documents, projects, images, etc.) that were replaced in later versions of the original programs.


How to open:

Use SAM to work with *.weights files.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .weights file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
