Does dbSNP check that submissions in the multiple reporting validation method are independent of each other?
“By Cluster” validation is currently the only check used that will confirm that an rs cluster has at least two subSNPs (ss), and that at least one of the ss is derived from a non-computational method. Although we could check to determine if the ss are from two different submitters, it may not be possible because some submitters do not report this information.
