Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TSV and CSV?
Both are plain text formats. CSV uses commas to separate fields; TSV uses tab characters. TSV is common for database exports and bioinformatics data. CSV is the standard for spreadsheet imports.
How do I open a TSV file in Excel?
Excel should open .tsv files directly, but they sometimes open as a single column. The safest approach: convert your TSV to CSV with Structra first, then open the CSV in Excel.
