6.1 Result Directory Structure

The selected BioLine Tool and task script determine the exact output paths. A task’s analysis directory commonly contains tables, figures, reports, and intermediate results; its logs record standard output, standard error, and exit status. Filenames and subdirectories do not replace checking the Tool version and output documentation.

Common downstream outputs include:

• abundance or statistical summary tables;
• alpha/beta diversity results and ordination plots;
• differential-analysis results; and
• figures plus HTML/PDF reports.

Example output	Typical content
Merged abundance table	An abundance matrix of features by samples.
Differential-results table	Method, effect size, and adjusted significance.
metadata.tsv	Sample groups and supporting variables.

Interpret outputs together with the exact Tool NAME:VERSION, summary/config, generated script, actual command, and input summary.
