Description

For Example, I want to get the data with keywords " lung cancer", "WES"

It is same like SRA explorer does, we just feed the keywords and get the ftp urls to download the data. Does fetchngs pipeline has this feature?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the fetchngs pipeline's existing input methods and the linked SRA Explorer example. Determine whether keyword searches such as "lung cancer" and "WES" can be supported, and define done as accepting scientific-name keywords and returning the corresponding FTP URLs for download.
