Description: utilities for the NCBI Sequence Read Archive
- To be determined
+ Tools for reading the SRA archive, generally by converting individual runs
+ into some commonly used format such as fastq. It also includes sources to
+ loader tools that are still under test. The intention is to give pre-release
+ access to the reader code.
+ .
+ The textual dumpers "sra-dump" and "vdb-dump" are provided in this
+ release as an aid in visual inspection. It is likely that their
+ actual output formatting will be changed in the near future to a
+ stricter, more formalized representation[s]. PLEASE DO NOT RELY UPON
+ THE OUTPUT FORMAT SEEN IN THIS RELEASE.
+ .
+ The "help" information will be improved in near future releases, and
+ the tool options will become standardized across the set. We will
+ also be providing documentation on our web site.
+ .
+ Tool options may change in the next release. Version 1 tool options
+ will remain supported wherever possible in order to preserve
+ operation of any existing scripts.
