Overview
SRA is NCBI's primary archive of high throughput sequencing data and serves as the world's largest publicly available repository of raw next generation…
Key Highlights
- The Sequence Read Archive (SRA): A Gateway to Global Sequencing Data The Sequence Read Archive represents a cornerstone of modern genomics research, serving as the primary repository for raw sequencing data generated from next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms
- As data sharing becomes increasingly crucial in scientific research, SRA stands as an essential resource for the global research community
- Core Components and Structure Data Types Stored SRA archives diverse sequencing data types: Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) RNA Seq ChIP Seq Metagenomics Amplicon sequencing Single cell sequencing Exome sequencing Bisulfite sequencing Data Organization The archive uses a hierarchical system: Study (SRP) Experiment (SRX) Sample (SRS) Run (SRR) Key Features and Functions 1
Ideal For
