Although you can find mapping tables for B126 on dbSNP’s FTP site, please note that dbSNP doesn't support complete archives of older builds. We strongly suggest that you use the most recent build to date (build 130) since it was created with improved mapping processes and contains corrections for past errors.(06/23/09)

dbSNP does not support searches for older assembly coordinates. You can get coordinates from dbSNP build 125 and 126, which were based on genome assembly 35 from the SNPContigLoc tables for those builds. You will find these tables in the organism_data subdirectory, which is located in the human database directory of dbSNP’s FTP site. (9/28/07)

Space limitations prevent us from keeping more than the most current build on our FTP site. The current XML files, however, do contain the mapping information for the previous build (i.e. build 35). (10/20/06)

Build120 was released on Mar 16 2004 12:00AM and mapped to the NCBI Human Genome 34 ver. 3. Build 120 has a total of 9,098,790 human SNPs, and 4,267,639 of those are validated.

Please note that dbSNP validation status is delineated by various levels. You can see definitions for the various validation status levels by clicking on the words "Validation Status" located on any RefSNP page in the table header just below the banner that reads “Submitter records for this RefSNP Cluster”.

1.

Go to the dbSNP home page.

2.

Locate the Submission Information section and select the “New Batches” link.

3.

Select “mouse_10090” from the organism dropdown menu and then choose Select “Variation submissions (SNP)” from the Batch Type dropdown menu

4.

Click the Search Batch button at the bottom of the page, and you will be given a list of SNP batch submissions that includes submitter handle, batch ID, and the number of variations submitted in descending calendar order. (2/21/06)

You can get the rs merge history of all rs numbers from your organism’s (human in this case) RsMergeArch table located in on the dbSNP ftp site.

The following example shows that rs4344934 has been merged to rs1107123:

gzcat RsMergeArch.bcp.gz | grep 4344934
4344934 1107123 123 1 2004-09-24 18:49:00 2004-10-10
11:55:00 1107123 1

Also, you can now retrieve a list of merged rs numbers from Entrez SNP. Just type “mergedrs” (without the quotation marks) in the text box at the top of the page and click the “go” button. Each entry in the returned list will include the old rs numbers that has merged, and the new rs number it has merged into (with a link to the refSNP page for the new rs number). You can limit the output to merged rs numbers within a certain species by clicking on the “Limits” tab and then selecting the organism you wish from the organism selection box. (5/25/05:11/03/08)

You can also use the RsMergeArch table located in the dbSNP FTP site. (11/08/05:11/03/08)

Search for these ss numbers by using the “Search by ID” query module located on the dbSNP homepage:

1.

Enter the ss ID number in the input text box.

2.

Select "NCBI Assay IDs" from the drop down menu to the right of the input text box.

3.

Click “Search”

4.

You will get a “Submitted SNP(ss) Report” for the ss ID you entered for your search.

5.

Click on the blue ss Id number located at the top of the report to go to the submitted SNP page for this ss ID number, or click on the blue rs Id number also located at the top of the report to get refSNP mapping information. (10/14/05)
