Files names something.gz are compressed, a bit like the .zip format used on windows. If it ends with .tar.gz (or the short hand .tgz) then you have a collection of files (Unix tool tar), which have then been compressed (with gzip or a similar tool). What operating system do you have? Even on Windows you can deal with these files. > I have NO IDEA how to process this data or convert it. Any help or utilies > out there ?

If you can find a local team or bioinformatician working with NextGen sequencing I would help. Try asking your sequencing center/provider if they have any kind local sequencing group.
