Hi biostars community! I am trying to download the original fastq paired-end read files from three biosamples of a bioproject from SRA. For example: https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR8581464
There are 4 original fastq files. Trying to download with SRA toolkit prefetch command "prefetch --type fastq SRR8581464" results in the following error:
"prefetch.2.10.5 err: error unexpected while resolving query within virtual file system module - failed to resolve accession 'SRR8581464' - The object is not available from your location. ( 406 )"
without the --type switch it downloads the sra file, which does not help me because the original files contain reads which I want to analyse separately (these are reads from DNA containing extracellular vesicles of different densities).
I think the original files can only be downloaded from amazon/google cloud, but I don't understand how to do so. The ncbi documentation only describes how to generate a cloud VM and install their toolkit there, which I don't want to. I just want those files on my machine… I am astonished how they managed to make something so simple as downloading files that complicated.
Thank you very much in advance for you help. Cheers! Stefan
Thanks! This already helped a lot. Still there should be 4 files for this experiment (L003 R1 and R2 plus L007 R1 and R2). Maybe I can split them somehow via read names. Cheers! Stefan

If these are technical replicates (on two lanes) then you don't need to split the file into separate lanes.
Hi! I am not entirely sure. In their paper they say that they produced several fractions (F1 to F7) of vesicles based on their density, where DNA cargo varied between high and low density fractions. I assume these L003 and L007 files are from the respective fraction. I need to check if this is documented somewhere. Thank you very much for your help! Cheers! Stefan
