Link Sequencing project accession number to published paper

Question

[son_of_7less]

Is there a way to find the paper or papers that were published with data from a submitted sequencing project in SRA or ENA?

I downloaded some sequences but I cannot for the life of me remember the paper I got it from (very stupid of me) I have done some analysis and I would like to compare it to their findings.

I ended up doing a Google Scholar search.

Was that successful? If not check the fastq headers. These might contain the accession number and this should link to some NCBI entries with the reference.

Using Entrezdirect (example replace your own SRA#):

$ esearch -db sra -query  SRR1448774 | elink -target pubmed | esummary | xtract -pattern DocumentSummary -element FullJournalName,ELocationID
Genome research doi: 10.1101/gr.181883.114

This is the output I get. Even when with the same ID in your code.

How did you install Entrezdirect? Using conda or otherwise? This looks like a local failure of some sort on your side.
