<p>Does anyone know where I can download cancer raw reads (fastq files), tumor and Germline for non-humans? </p>

So do you want human or non-human? Your question is confusing. For human, have a look at [Is there a publicly available tumor-normal sample?](//bioinformatics.stackexchange.com/q/4111). Is that what you need?

Does anyone know where I can download cancer raw reads (fastq files), tumor and Germline for non-humans?

I wanted to make a study with human data but I don't have the control access to download raw reads.
