See [Understanding the BaseSpace HTML reports](/dragen-16s-plus/dragen-16s-plus/output-files/understanding-the-basespace-html-reports.md) for further details                                                                                                                                                     |
| Samplename.D16SPlus.summary.csv | csv           | Tabular file with counts of how reads were classified in the sample. Each unique classification is a row, and the number of hits and % of total hits is recorded for each row. Partial classifications (e.g., where a Class-level classification was made, but not an Order-level classification) has unclassified entries left blank |
| Samplename.D16SPlus.txt.gz      | txt (gzipped) | File providing raw classifier output. Entries in the file contain the read (or read pair for paired-end data) identifier from the input FASTQ file and the classification assigned to the read for each canonical taxonomic level (separated by semicolons)                                                                           |
