A cloud lit up in the background with lines of a, t, g, c. Text says: Important Update! Changes to SRA Data Access on AWS.

Cost-effective alternatives for accessing SRA data  

Important note! The storage tier for Sequence Read Archive (SRA) data available through Amazon Web Services (AWS) commercial buckets is transitioning to Infrequent Access.

Please note this change does not impact SRA data access from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or NCBI servers.
