Issue: You Can't Open DNASYM Files
You might've double-clicked on the file, to be greeted with the "Choose a program to open the file" message. In some cases, you might be able to open the file, but the contents may seem garbled and that's because it was written to be opened in a specific program. Of course, you can't open a DNASYM file with just any software. Not to worry - we have you covered!
Step 1: Find Out Which Software Uses DNASYM Files
Opening your DNASYM file starts with understanding which software uses a DNASYM extension. In many cases, different types of software may use the same file extensions, also known as file associations.
Desktop DNA Compiled Application Script is the most popular software package that uses DNASYM files. Therefore, your best bet would be to download that software package and use it to open your file.
Zipped files tend to require special handling and may require password access. Contact the file owner or the person who gave you the file for the password and unzip the file before attempting to open the contents.
Step 2: Learning More About DNASYM "File Type"
If you can't download Desktop DNA Compiled Application Script software, or if it doesn't work to open your DNASYM file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. Using a Windows PC, you can right-click and navigate to "Properties" and then to "Type of file". On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind".
Most likely, you will find that DNASYM files are considered Uncommon Files. Because many programs packages utilize Uncommon Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.
If that still does not work, you may have to contact the associated software developer to find out how to open it. Unless you know the specific developer, you could contact one of these developers for assistance.
