Response: We assign our own IDs to each of the STS markers, but we also track the UniSTS IDs for each marker in the downloadable stsInfo2 table. To determine the location of a specific marker, look up the marker’s name in the stsAlias table to determine the UCSC ID assigned to the marker, and then use this ID to look it up in the stsMap table where the marker is located. For example, D10S249 has UCSC ID 2880 and is located at chr10:240791-241019.
