Error with fastq-dump

Question

[pilyric]

Hi, I have downloaded some .sra files from NCBI. But when I tried to convert sra files to fastq, an error occured:

fastq-dump -I --split-files SRR1055837.sra

2018-01-14T08:22:41 fastq-dump.2.8.2 err: data bad version while reading binary large object within virtual database module - failed SRR1055837.sra

So how to solve this? Thx a lot

Hi, Did you try it on different sra ?

I tried another sra and it worked. Thank you!

I think when you run your command, you should connect to internet.

Download the fastq files directly from EBA-ENA for this SRR#.

ok, I'll try this. Thank you.
