What is a EMB file?
Files with EMB suffix are used fo storing nucleotide data. The format was developed by European Molecular Biology Laboratory. The format is considered obsolete and is no longer supported.
EMB files can only be accessed using dedicated software typically available in laboratories, research facilities, or universities. Whether EMB files can be converted to other formats is unconfirmed.

How to open EMB files
If you cannot open the EMB file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports EMB among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the EMB file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the EMB format files
The inability to open and operate the EMB file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the EMBL Nucleotide Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a EMB file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the EMB file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the EMB from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the EMB format
- The EMB file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the EMB file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a EMB file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the EMB file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the EMB file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the EMB file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.EMB) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected EMB file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the EMB file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. EMB) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
