I am trying to download the RunInfo Table for a number of entries in the BioProject or SRA databases. I have installed Entrez Direct and have esearch and efetch working, but they don't provide the same information as downloading the RunInfo Table manually.

When I run this code:

esearch -db sra -q 'PRJNA417256' | efetch -format runinfo > PRJNA417256.sra.csv

I get a .csv with the following fields:

  • Run
  • ReleaseDate
  • LoadDate
  • spots
  • bases
  • spots_with_mates
  • avgLength
  • size_MB
  • AssemblyName
  • download_path
  • Experiment
  • LibraryName
  • LibraryStrategy
  • LibrarySelection
  • LibrarySource
  • LibraryLayout
  • InsertSize
  • InsertDev
  • Platform
  • Model
  • SRAStudy
  • BioProject
  • Study_Pubmed_id
  • ProjectID
  • Sample
  • BioSample
  • SampleType
  • TaxID
  • ScientificName
  • SampleName
  • g1k_pop_code
  • source
  • g1k_analysis_group
  • Subject_ID
  • Sex
  • Disease
  • Tumor
  • Affection_Status
  • Analyte_Type
  • Histological_Type
  • Body_Site
  • CenterName
  • Submission
  • dbgap_study_accession
  • Consent
  • RunHash
  • ReadHash

When I manually download the RunInfo Table I get a .csv with the following fields:

  • Run
  • Antibody
  • Assay Type
  • AvgSpotLen
  • BioProject
  • BioSample
  • cell_line
  • Center Name
  • Consent
  • DATASTORE filetype
  • DATASTORE provider
  • DATASTORE region

  • Instrument
  • LibraryLayout
  • LibrarySelection
  • LibrarySource
  • MBases
  • MBytes
  • Organism
  • Platform
  • ReleaseDate
  • sample_acc
  • Sample Name
  • source_name
  • SRA Study
  • transfection
  • treatment

Is there a way to get the contents of the RunInfo Table from the command line (particularly: Antibody, Assay Type, cell_line, Organism, source_name, transfection, treatment)?

Thanks.
