    linux unzip an Affymetrix annotation file

    Hi,
    I am new to this forum and new to bioinformatics. I am stuck in a simple question here.
    I have this annotation file, .csv.zip downloaded from the Affymetrix website. In Linux, I used gunzip first followed by the filename. Error says wrong suffix. Then I changed .zip to .gz, it says the file contains more than one entry.
    Anyone can help?

    zip is not gzip.
    unzip is not gunzip
    Similar ideas but different programs using different algorithms.
    Use unzip for zip files.
    Use gzip for gz files.

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
