A Google Colaboratory version of most used commands are available in this Colab Notebook . Note that this requires only an active internet connection (no additional downloads are made).
The following notebooks document all the possible features of pysradb:
- Python API
- Downloading datasets from SRA - command line
- Parallely download multiple datasets - Python API
- Converting SRA-to-fastq - command line (requires conda)
- Downloading subsets of a project - Python API
- Download BAMs
- Metadata for multiple SRPs
- Multithreaded fastq downloads using Aspera Client
- Searching SRA/GEO/ENA
To install stable version using pip:
pip install pysradbAlternatively, if you use conda:
conda install -c bioconda pysradbThis step will install all the dependencies.
If you have an existing environment with a lot of pre-installed packages, conda might be slow.
Please consider creating a new enviroment for pysradb:
conda create -c bioconda -n pysradb PYTHON=3.7 pysradbpandas

pysradb makes it super easy to download datasets from SRA parallely:
Using 8 threads to download:
$ pysradb download -y -t 8 --out-dir ./pysradb_downloads -p SRP063852
Downloads are organized by SRP/SRX/SRR mimicking the hiererachy of SRA projects.
$ pysradb metadata SRP000941 --detailed | grep 'study\|RNA-Seq' | pysradb download
This will download all RNA-seq samples coming from this project.
With aspera-client installed, pysradb can perform ultra fast downloads:
To download all original fastqs with aspera-client installed utilizing 8 threads:
$ pysradb download -t 8 --use_ascp -p SRP002605
