Hi, I recently learned that file has obviosely no means for detecting biological data formats. Three months ago we had some discussions about Applied Biosystems chromatograms[1]. This thread more or less had ended with: We are waiting for an answer of the authors.
Now I wonder whether we could assemble general mime information for several biological data formats to enable applications to detect whether files have the format they should have. I think this would be of great profit for many applications to be able to easily verify that the input format fits the format the applications wants to work with. Kind regards Andreas.
