Get .sra files without convertion #18

Closed FionaMoon closed 2 years ago

FionaMoon commented 2 years ago

Hi, Kingfisher is a wonderful tool for download and it really helps me alot. I have a question when using this tool : what should I do if I just want .sra files but not fastq ? I find that Kingfisher will convert .sra files into fastq automatically when I use the following code

kingfisher get -r SRR7692286 -m aws-http prefetch -t 16

In your tutorial,it mentions that 'the default parameter of --output-format-possibilities is fastq, shall I change it to other format?

Thank you inadvance !

Thanks for the kind words. Yes just do that and specify sra

Looks like the documentation could do with an update. Will do.
