[Genome] More help with upstream .maf file

[calhoujd@notes.udayton.edu]

To Whom it May Concern,

Feel free to disregard my previous email seeking help.  I figured out my 
previous issue, but have instead run into a new problem trying to use the 
upstream2000.maf file (Multiple alignments of 16 vertebrate genomes with 
Human).  I have tried using at least five text editors including notepad, 
notepad++, wordpad, and the MEGA3.1 text editor to open the file with 
little success.  I am assuming this is partially due to the size of the 
file (>600 MB).  However, two of the text editors were able to begin to 
open the file, but stopped way short of the entire file.  Enclosed is a 
screen shot of how far the text editor was able to get (not quite through 
the first alignment).  Any help as to how I can open this file in a text 
editor would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Calhoun
