The files EnzymeX creates look like normal files, but right-click and open their contents and you will see that they consist of a simple FASTA file and a file in which EnzymeX stores its preferences. Send a file to someone who doesn't have EnzymeX or to a Windows user and they will simply see a folder with a FASTA file. No problem! If you have any questions about the exDNA file "format", don't hesitate to contact us.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Hope that helps..</DIV><DIV>Cheers,</DIV><DIV>Alex</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Ps.
