Description

The SRA Toolkit from NCBI is a collection of tools and libraries for using data in the INSDC Sequence Read Archives. The Sequence Read Archives (SRA) store raw sequence data from "next-generation" sequencing technologies including Illumina, 454, IonTorrent, Complete Genomics, PacBio and OxfordNanopores. In addition to raw sequence data, SRA now stores alignment information in the form of read placements on a reference sequence. The SRA-Toolkit includes the following tools:

fastq-dump: Convert SRA data into fastq format

prefetch: Allows command-line downloading of SRA, dbGaP, and ADSP data

sam-dump: Convert SRA data to sam format

sra-pileup: Generate pileup statistics on aligned SRA data

vdb-config: Display and modify VDB configuration information

vdb-decrypt: Decrypt non-SRA dbGaP data ("phenotype data")

abi-dump: Convert SRA data into ABI format (csfasta / qual)

illumina-dump: Convert SRA data into Illumina native formats (qseq, etc.)

sff-dump: Convert SRA data to sff format

sra-stat: Generate statistics about SRA data (quality distribution, etc.)

vdb-dump: Output the native VDB format of SRA data.

vdb-encrypt: Encrypt non-SRA dbGaP data ("phenotype data")

vdb-validate: Validate the integrity of downloaded SRA data

Downloading SRA Data

You can download SRA data to local directory with the prefetch tool.
