How To Get Sra Informations Given A Pubmed Id?

Question

[Hanfei Sun]

I know I can use elink to get the related GSE ID and GSM ID given a Pubmed ID. However, I found some papers have put their data on SRA but not on GEO, which I can't find the related data from a Pubmed ID. Does anyone have ideas about how to get SRA informations routinely given a Pubmed ID (For example, this Pubmed ID: 23664764) ?

can you give us a pmid for a test please.

Try NCBIs LinkOut

For example: retrieving SRA records from PubMed ID: 21054605 , Try this:

http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&db=sra&id=21054605

Databases Available for Linking

Links can be made from the following NCBI databases to outside resources. When entering the database in the <Database> element, use the Db abbreviation, rather than the database name.

Some how Pubmed Id you provided (23664764) does not resulted in SRA linkout: (either its not up dated or i might have missed it)

This is the correct answer. If you don't see related data it's either because NCBI have not yet processed it, or it's not available.
