I became well-aquainted NCBI SRA database today

It’s not the most user-friendly database, but it’s still pretty great! Based off of Sean and Grace’s previous searches and some of my own searches, I found C. gigas methylation data. You can read up on my methods here.

I recorded the following metadata for each run I found:

• Project code
• SRA study code
• Experiment code
• Experimental Design
• Sample type
• Library information (Name, Platform, Strategy, Source, Selection, Layout)
• Run code
• Run information (Spots, Bases, Size, GC Content)
• Submitted by
• Date published

All of the metadata is in this spreadsheet. Tomorrow, I’ll download the data (apparently it’s not a straightforward process).
