[Bioc-devel] SRAdb listSRAfile returns empty datatable with filetype='fastq'

[Cook, Malcolm]

H'lo datasubs,

I have been using the BioConductor R package called SRAdb, supported by Jack Zhu, cc:ed, which provides programmatic access to your ftp archive of SRA submissions.

It stopped working a few minutes ago, and after sleuthing, I found this perhaps related announcement on your site: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/about/news#news_127

Am I accessing in an administrative window, or are you possibly discontinuing or modifying you support for SRA fastq archives?

Thanks,

Malcolm Cook

 .Hi Jack,
 .
 .Do you happen to know if EBI is refreshing or otherwise administering their archive of SRA fastqs?

Sluething their site, I suspect this announcement is related:  http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/about/news#news_127


 .
 .I find  that if I change the type to 'sra', I get a quick list of paths.  But if go after the 'fastq', the result yesterday, which worked, is
 .coming back empty this afternoon.
 .
 .Any ideas?
 .
 .Thx
 .
 .Malcolm
