How to deal with SRA file without .SRA

Question

[Andy]

Good afternoon,

I have encountered a problem with an SRA file and I hope you can help me.

I downloaded the SRA file from this website: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJNA834732.

I obtained the SRA file without the .SRA extension. I used fast-dump to extract the data from the files, but I ended up with only a single .fastq file. This is the first time I have encountered this issue, and I am wondering how to resolve it.

Thanks!

PRJNA is the standard NCBI BioProject prefix. There are 19 pairs of FASTQs associated with this one so you're doing something wrong

Thank you Ram! Yes, I did something wrong.
