Create SRA Crawler #50

Closed flaneuse closed 1 year ago

flaneuse commented 2 years ago

Access SRA via API.
Store each accession number as an individual dataset.
Note: will need to make sure to grab just the metadata for a record, not the actual sequencing data.

NOTE: Will need to consider how we also incorporate related NCBI projects: BioProject and GenBank.

Basically -- also see more on the divisions here:

SRA = raw sequencing data
GenBank = processed sequencing data to create whole genomes
BioProject = metadata about the experiment that was used to create the SRA and/or GenBank data, including BioSamples, etc.
