Direct your browser to [SRA Run Selector](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/study/) and in the search box enter GEO data set identifier (for example: GSE72018). Once the study appears, click the box to download the \u201cRunInfo Table\u201d.  **Organizing metadata**  - The \u201cRunInfo Table\u201d provides the experimental condition and replicate structure of all of the samples. Prior to importing the data, we need to parse this file into individual files that contain the sample IDs of the replicates in each condition. This can be achieved by using a combina...","height":400,"html":"<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"yes\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts\" title=\"FAQ: Data retrieval with \u201cNCBI SRA Tools\u201d (fastq-dump)\" src=\"https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/dataupload_NCBI_SRA.html?utm_source=galaxy-help&utm_medium=oembed&utm_campaign=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>","provider_name":"Galaxy Training Network (GTN)","provider_url":"https://galaxy.training","thumbnail_height":400,"thumbnail_url":"https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/assets/images/GTNLogo1000.png","thumbnail_width":560,"title":"FAQ: Data retrieval with \u201cNCBI SRA Tools\u201d (fastq-dump)","type":"video","version":"1.0","width":560}
