Problem with SRA

Question

[Daniel]

BIOF521 presents an SRR957824 for E. coli. However, when submitted to SRA, it comes up as "mouse". How can this be explained?

Answer 1

SRA has a feature to see how reads align to the tree of life. Most reads of this sample are bacteria.

Why do you think there is mouse there?

Answer 2

[GenoMax]

However, when submitted to SRA, it comes up as "mouse".

What does that mean? I can see an entry that is E. coli for that accession : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/?term=SRR957824
