High-throughput sequencing is a powerful technique for addressing biological questions. Grabseqs streamlines access to publicly available metagenomic data by providing a single, easy-to-use interface to download data and metadata from multiple repositories, including the Sequence Read Archive, the Metagenomics Rapid Annotation through Subsystems Technology server and iMicrobe. Users can download data and metadata in a standardized format from any number of samples or projects from a given repository with a single grabseqs command.
