Ran feature counts results in deseq 2 but the results file does not show column name such as p value and logfold change

Hello @jananis
The values in each data column are described on the tool form down in the Help section, and the tutorials linked there have tutorial/workflow examples if you want to compare.
Output
DESeq2 generates a tabular file containing the different columns and optional visualized results as PDF.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Gene Identifiers |
| 2 | mean normalised counts, averaged over all samples from both conditions |
| 3 | the logarithm (to basis 2) of the fold change (See the note in inputs section) |
| 4 | standard error estimate for the log2 fold change estimate |
| 5 | Wald statistic |
| 6 | p value for the statistical significance of this change |
| 7 | p value adjusted for multiple testing with the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure which controls false discovery rate (FDR) |
By selecting Output sample size factors in the “Output options” selection box, the size factors used to normalize the samples can also be output as a tabular file.
Hope this helps but please explain if you need something else. 
Example: you want to add in a header? See the tools in this tutorial for suggestions. Just keep in mind that downstream tools might complain if there is a header included that wasn’t expected. → Hands-on: Data Manipulation Olympics / Data Manipulation Olympics / Foundations of Data Science
