SRA format file. How to use it?

[rexxi]

I downloaded a sequencing proyect from SRA and I downloaded a ile which contains a lot of information of raw reads. My problem starts when I try to use it, because the file seems to be binary.

What program can open this file to be useful? it can be exported to other format files?

Hi rexxi,

Yes. You can convert .SRA files to .fastq format, which can be done by using SRA Toolkit.

The similar question was discussed before on this forum (link).
