Re: [galaxy-user] get data from SRA

Hi Stuart,

I have a suggestion to make Galaxy even more useful

You could enable direct data loading of Next-Gen sequence data from NCBI/SRA. As it is now, if someone wants to make use of the NextGen tools, they have to upload a big data file from their desktop. You have enabled very rapid data loading from UCSC, so perhaps you can work the same magic to get data from SRA.

I normally just paste in the link to the gzipped fastq from SRA. This works pretty well. Steve
