Fetch public small RNA-seq data
Today we will download small RNA-seq data from the ENA (European Nucleotide Archive).
...
Click on the link above and search for “accession”, “Data availability”, “BioProject ID”, “GEO accession code” or “Array Express” identifier.
If, only an Array Express accession code is available, then go to https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/arrayexpress and search for the Array Express identifier. Browse the database to located the identifier for ENA.
Hint: it will take a couple of clicks to open multiple pages to find the identifier for the data deposited in ENA.
...
Which is the Array express identifier noted in the above manuscript and to which ENA identifier it relates to?

Array Express: E-MTAB-2206 , and ENA identifier: ERP004592 |
STEP 2: Search for data for the identified BioProject ID at the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) database
