The Short Read Archive is an important bioinformatics database hosted at the European Bioinformatics Institute. It provides a public repository for the 'short reads' generated by second generation sequencing technologies.

The 'short reads' are typically less than 1000bp of DNA sequence and associated quality information collected from a genomic, environmental or transcriptomic (reverse transcribed) sample.

The NCBI mirror of the SRA was closed in 2010 due to funding cuts.

Deposition of data in the SRA is a mandatory requirement of some funding agencies and open access journals.
