Description: The Sequence Read Archive (SRA) is the largest public
  repository of sequencing data from the next generation of sequencing
  platforms including Roche 454 GS System, Illumina Genome Analyzer,
  Applied Biosystems SOLiD System, Helicos Heliscope, and
  others. However, finding data of interest can be challenging using
  current tools. SRAdb is an attempt to make access to the metadata
  associated with submission, study, sample, experiment and run much
  more feasible. This is accomplished by parsing all the NCBI SRA
  metadata into a SQLite database that can be stored and queried
  locally. Fulltext search in the package make querying metadata very
  flexible and powerful.  fastq and sra files can be downloaded for doing
  alignment locally. Beside ftp protocol, the SRAdb has funcitons 
  supporting fastp protocol (ascp from Aspera Connect) for faster 
  downloading large data files over long distance. The SQLite 
  database is updated regularly as new data is added to SRA and 
  can be downloaded at will for the most up-to-date metadata.
