What is a GMT file?

GMT files mostly belong to rFactor by Image Space. GMT file extension is associated with more than one file type. rFactor, a 3D car racing video game uses GMT file extension to save 3D multimedia content such as vehicle models, race tracks, and components for upgrading vehicles. GenePattern, a cross-platform gene analysis software uses GMT as the file name extension for databases containing gene matrix transposed data. This kind of GMT files contain tab-delimited lists of gene sets. Each gene set in the file is placed on a separate line (representing a row). GMT Player, a discontinued video streaming software used its proprietary GMT format to store compressed live IPTV video feeds for better streaming experience.

How do you open GMT files?

You need a suitable software like rFactor to open a GMT file.

GMT format details:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>.
