Retrieve "Abstract" of SRP accession from SRA

Question

[grant.hovhannisyan]

From SRA, how can I retrieve the "abstract" information for each SRP project in a list SRP projects?

For example, for SRP241771 I need "RNAseq data for Candida glabrata strain BG2 under different conditions".

SRA-toolkit and SRA Selector do not seems to have this function to download "abstracts".

Thanks

You can try sra-explorer https://ewels.github.io/sra-explorer/ then save the desired datasets to cart, and then use Full Metadata the button to download what is available.

the loading of metadata hangs for some reason. also it does not seem to have the abstract info there

Using Entrezdirect :

$ esearch -db sra -query "SRP241771" | esummary -format native | xtract -pattern STUDY_ABSTRACT -element STUDY_ABSTRACT
RNAseq data for Candida glabrata strain BG2 under different conditions
RNAseq data for Candida glabrata strain BG2 under different conditions
