Centrifuge 1.0.1-beta release 3/8/2016

• Centrifuge is now able to work directly with SRA data: both downloaded on demand over internet and prefetched to local disks.
• For example, you can run Centrifuge with SRA data (SRR353653) as follows.
  centrifuge -x /path/to/index --sra-acc SRR353653
• This eliminates the need to download SRA reads manually and to convert them into fasta/fastq format without affecting the run time.
• We provide a Centrifuge index (nt index) for NCBI nucleotide non-redundant sequences collected from plasmids, organelles, viruses, archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes, totaling ~109 billion bps. Centrifuge is a very good alternative to Megablast (or Blast) for searching through this huge database.
• Fixed Centrifuge's scripts related to sequence downloading and index building.
