NCBI SRA Import 1.2

Import NCBI SRA files into the CyVerse environment using the fasp protocol. This application uses the new aspera-connect-3.1.1 program code.

Although this app is still functional, it does not have the capability of working with the new SRRs or splitting FASTQ files for paired-end reads. If you need that functionality, please use the NCBI-SRA-Fastq-dump-2.8.1 app instead.
