I downloaded dbSNP on Jun 6, 2004, and now need to provide a reference for this build in a manuscript. Can you tell me the build number?
It looks like it was dbSNP build 121. If you scroll to the bottom of the SNP summary page, you can query there for release dates from the most recent build all the way back to build 106. (1/19/05)
Where do I find the dates when a particular SNP was released for public view?
You can find these dates by checking the build history page for the release dates (these immediately follow the submission dates. PLEASE NOTE that the dates found in the NCBI databases are not to be used for patent purposes. See the NCBI Copyright and Disclaimer page for additional information.
