Changes to SRA Data Access on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Lines of atgc and a digital cloud in the background. Yellow banner in top corner says Important Update! Other text says: Upcoming Changes to SRA Data Access; Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform

Important note! The storage tier for Sequence Read Archive (SRA) data available through Amazon Web Services (AWS) commercial buckets is transitioning to Glacier Instant retrieval and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is transitioning to Coldline. This change is projected to be complete by the end of October 2024. To mitigate the cost impact of this change, we recommend adjusting your data access workflow to utilize the SRA Toolkit for accessing SRA data from AWS or GCP.  

Please note this change does not impact SRA data access from NCBI servers or AWS Open Data Program.
