NCBI SRA Get Run Info

Overview

Get detailed metadata for SRA run accessions including sequencing platform (ILLUMINA, Oxford Nanopore), instrument model, library strategy (RNA-Seq, WGS), library source (genomic, transcriptomic), library layout (paired/single), sample information, study details, organism, and data statistics (total spots, bases). Essential for understanding experimental design and data characteristics before downloading large FASTQ files. Use SRA run accessions (SRR000001, ERR000001, DRR000001) from NCBI_SRA_search_runs or known accessions.
