dbSNP Data Dictionary

Created: ; Last Update: February 18, 2014.

Where can I download a pdf version of the entire data dictionary (all tables and all variables)?

The content of the data dictionary is stored in a table which is dumped to a file called db_DataDictionaryNew in the shared_data directory of the dbSNP FTP site. The schema for table db_DataDictionaryNew is in ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/database/shared_schema/. Please note that data dictionary is a "living" file in that we often update when there are changes in dbSNP’s schema.(01/07/08)

How do I convert the db_DataDictionaryNew.bcp file to a well-formatted pdf or doc file for printing?

The data file is tab delimited so could you try loading it into an Excel spreadsheet.(01/09/08)
