Have you ever spent weeks interacting with SRA data and then decided it just wasn't going to work? That's like going on a blind date with someone you have no interest in. It's a huge waste of your time!

Here we introduce SRA_Tinder, the package that allows you to preview your fastq files before you date them. Go ahead, swipe left. Don't date that ugly data! Or Swipe right and find the love of your data life. Our goal is to show you only the most essential information about your SRA data sets, and let you decide which ones are right for you.

Installation is a three step process:

# Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/NCBI-Hackathons/EZData

# Install the included SRA SDK
$ cd deps/ngs-sdk.2.9.0-linux/ngs-python
$ python setup.py install

# move back to base directory
$ cd ../../..
$ python setup.py install

Input is a SRR number list from runselector, output is a tab delemted table.

python sra_tinder_matches.py SRA_Acc_list.txt

For example you can test the code using this

$ python sra_tinder_matches.py tests/SRA_Acc_list.txt

To get your own SRA_Acc_list.txt go to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/study/ and type in a SRR number or a Bioproject number, go to the run selector, and click Accession List.

• add the ngs code instead of scraping the web. This means we don't break when SRA changers there website, and we could easily take in fastq files instead of SRA accesssions.
• graph summerize the output table
• add in the search SRA and get a massive accesion list auto lookup
