Open SAM on Phone

SAM stores sequence alignments as text rows with headers and CIGAR strings.

• Phone viewers do not explain biological table columns.
• Large genomic files are hard to inspect as plain text.
• A small local table summary is often enough to identify the file.

OpenOnPhone is for quick local inspection. It does not replace the original professional app for editing, conversion, exact layout, formulas, measurements, security review, or full workflow features.

• text/plain
• application/octet-stream

• Choose the SAM file on the home page.
• OpenOnPhone shows headers, counts, and the first rows locally.
• Use genome or sequencing tools when you need indexing, coordinate search, variant annotation, or alignment viewing.
