Other easy ways for people to get data from SRA #5

Say you were looking for a specific gene or transcript, or wanted to map a transcriptome project to a genome, you could stream the data directly using hisat2 or magicBLAST. Seems that would be a nice option for users.

Cheers!

Hi Ben!

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there some specific command that you think would be useful? I'm a little hesitant to go beyond commands that fetch the data as I think it could snowball to be a lot of options :) Hopefully the raw list of URLs is still pretty easy to manipulate for streaming applications..
