DATA file extension - SAM data
What is data file? How to open data files?
File type specification:
The data file extension is also used for data files in Sequence Alignment and Modeling Software System, a software used in biological sequence analysis.
The data file stores some biological data used by SAM software.
The default software associated to open data file:
Sequence Alignment and Modeling system 
Company or developer:
Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh
Sequence Alignment and Modeling system (SAM) is a collection of fsoftware tools for creating, refining, and using linear hidden Markov models for biological sequence analysis.
The model states can be viewed as representing the sequence of columns in a multiple sequence alignment, with provisions for arbitrary position-dependent insertions and deletions in each sequence. The models are trained on a family of protein or nucleic acid sequences using an expectation-maximization algorithm and a variety of algorithmic heuristics. A trained model can then be used to both generate multiple alignments and search databases for new members of the family.
List of recommended software applications associated to the .data file extension
Recommended software programs are sorted by OS platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android etc.)
and possible program actions that can be done with the file: like open data file, edit data file, convert data file, view data file, play data file etc. (if exist software for corresponding action in File-Extensions.org's database).

Sequence Alignment and Modeling system uses data file type for its internal purposes and/or also by different way than common edit or open file actions (eg. to install/execute/support an application itself, to store application or user data, configure program etc.).
