# Usage: python parse_ena_xml.py > rnaseq_info_database.txt
#
# Search in this script for 'd_run', 'd_sample', 'd_experiment' and
# 'd_study', and set their input files. The input files are generated
# by download_ena_metadata.py (except for d_sample). It also
# generates a json file called info_database.json, for displaying
# experimental information in the scatterplot. If the input files are
# for RNA-seq data, rename info_database.json to
# rnaseq_info_database.json and move it to Data/information. Also move
# rnaseq_info_database.txt to Data/information. They are used by
# html_network.py.
#
# Purpose: Get description for RNA-seq data, one for each SRA Run ID.
# Make rnaseq_info_database.txt and rnaseq_info_database.json. Each
# line in rnaseq_info_database.txt contains information for a run id.
#
# NOTE: you might encounter UnicideEncodeError when running the
# program. To avoid that, first type this command:
# export PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8.
