text: user7427: I was trying to download some data from NCBI SRA (SRA059451). There are 27 samples available for SRA059451. But i am unable to understand which samples are 'control' and 'test' samples. Please help me regarding how to differentiate the samples.
  
  user5077: You can download the information using this link:
  I did it in R:
  tab = read.delim("https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/warehouse/filereport?accession=SRA059451&result=read_run&fields=run_accession,experiment_title,sra_ftp,sample_alias")
  
  head(tab)
    run_accession
  1     SRR585697
  2     SRR585700
  3     SRR585726
  4     SRR585727
  5     SRR585728
  6     SRR585729
                                                                  experiment_title

  6 Symptomatic atherosclerosis gut metagenome 245
  
  Normally the information will be here, but I cannot find what does metagenome 238 etc refers to. No table in the paper that can link sample to phenotype.. 
  Most likely you need to contact the authors. This list might be useful though.
