Mg-Rast "900" Download File Column Names?

Hello, community, does anybody have an idea what are the column names of those mg-rast "900" processed files are? Because the description in mg-rast website is outdated. Thank you for everyone!

You should ignore the .md5 file.

There are lots of potential output tables from MG-RAST.

It looks to me like you have a table of functional enrichment results with the functional category in the first column, p-value in 3rd column, and FDR (?) in 4th column.

I would recommend viewing the results in MG-RAST first. Whenever I have downloaded a table, the format has been the same as was displayed on the website.

Not sure if this is a complete solution, but I did put together a brief tutorial on how to use MG-RAST to analyze metagenomics data:
