Description

Sequence Read Archive workflows can use the prebuilt NCBI toolkit instead of compiling the source package locally. The package copies the upstream binary commands, schemas, documentation, and examples into the system, including common tools such as `prefetch` and `fasterq-dump`. It can fetch large remote datasets and write substantial local output, so network quotas, disk space, and credentials need attention.

How to run

fasterq-dump

Commands: fasterq-dump
