Download SRA run files for given sample names

Have all sample names in samples, one per line and run:

for sample in $(cat samples); do
    IFS=$'\n'
    for line in $(./sra-runs.py $sample); do
        echo $sample $line >> runs

done

# Stashing is a great way to pause what you’re currently working on and come 
# back to it later. For example, if you working on that awesome, brand new 
# feature but someone just found a bug that you need to fix. Add your changes to 
# the index using

  $ git add .

# Or add individual files to the index, your pick. Stash your changes away with:

  $ git stash

[T]he difference between a bad programmer and a 
good one is whether he considers his code or his 
data structures more important. Bad programmers 
worry about the code. Good programmers worry about 
data structures and their relationships.

Clarity and brevity sometimes are at odds. 
When they are, I choose clarity.
