Opening a RESULTS File

The RESULTS file type is primarily associated with RSEM.

RESULTS	File extension: RESULTS
	File type:	data file

What is a RESULTS file?

RESULTS files mostly belong to RSEM. Gene Expression and Simulation Data: RESULTS files hold output from specialized software.

RSEM Data: These files store gene expression results from RNA sequencing. They include quantification details such as transcript counts and related metrics. More information is available on the RSEM website.

HEC-HMS XML Output: Some RESULTS files use an XML format to record simulation run results. They include parameters and output statistics from hydrologic models. Details can be found at the HEC-HMS website.

LSAW Compressed Data: Other variants may be compressed files related to device settings, such as those used by Logitech SetPoint.

FilExt.com notes: These files are primarily text-based. Opening them with a text editor may work if they are plain text or XML. Specialized software is needed when files are compressed or formatted for a specific analysis.

How can I open a RESULTS file?

You need a suitable software like RSEM to open a RESULTS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RESULTS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RESULTS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert RESULTS files:

RSEM
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. RESULTS files are often referred to as RSEM data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
RSEM, HEC-HMS, Logitech SetPoint
*.RESULTS files store various types of results, predominantly related to data analysis and software outputs. A significant portion of these files contain gene expression results, often generated by RNA sequencing analysis software like RSEM. These files typically hold quantified gene or transcript expression data. Other *.RESULTS files may represent outputs from simulation software, such as HEC-HMS, or even compressed data files associated with specific applications like Logitech SetPoint. The internal structure of *.RESULTS files varies considerably, ranging from plain text or semicolon-separated values to structured formats like XML. This file format is classified as Data files.

RESULTS file format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the RESULTS files produces the following result:

RESULTS is not a commonly used file extension and is used by many programs, each with its own file format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

20% of all RESULTS files have the same signature gene_. These files are text files, so they contain words and text. Most of these files are 1 MB to 8 MB in size. The file type is relatively new. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. gene_id, FPKM, effective_length, expected_count, transcript_id(s), ENST00000373020, ENST00000494424 and ENST00000496771. Examples of file names are SRR1039514_1.N20180601_Alb.genes.results. Files like these have the following tags: genes and rsem.
10% of all RESULTS files start with the bytes LSAW crucial for this file format. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The average file size is 52 KB with most files being between 39 KB and 75 KB in size. The files contain the following words: LSAW.

The remaining 70% of all RESULTS files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. XML, ZIP and transcript. Sometimes used for isoforms, queries, array, dlist, manifests, approach, rnaseq, sample or glds. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your RESULTS file!

How to solve problems with RESULTS files

Associate the RESULTS file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest RESULTS file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available RSEM update.
To make sure that your RESULTS file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
