a command-line tool for extracting unordered read data from SRA files
sracat is small C++ program that uses the NCBI sra-toolkit C++ API to extract sequence (and optionally quailty scores) from SRA records. Unlike the fasterq-dump program included with the sra-toolkit, sracat does not output the reads in their origianlly submitted order, but rather outputs reads in the order in which they are stored in the SRA file.
