How I match SNP names from the Seattle SNPs database (e.g. a Seattle SNPs named UI1498 in the IL10 gene) to dbSNP rs numbers in dbSNP?
Seattle SNPs names were submitted to dbSNP using the gene name concatenated with the position of the variation. For example, a couple of SNPs submitted for gene CPSF4 were submitted by Seattle SNPs as CPSF4-000171 and CPSF4-000205. 1.To find the Seattle SNPs names you need to use to search for dbSNP IDs, go to the Seattle SNPs page for the gene of interest (our example, CPSF4). Once you’re on this page, scroll down to the “Gene Specific Links” section of the page, and select the “SNP Context” link to see a list of names used by Seattle SNPs for SNPs in this gene (please note: As we have no control over Seattle SNPs web page, the link mentioned above may change in the future from this description).2.Go to the “Search by IDs” section of the dbSNP homepage .3.Enter the Seattle SNPs names (ie.CPSF4-000171) into the text box.4.Click on the box located immediately to the right of the text box to activate a drop-down menu. Select “Submitter SNP ID” from the menu.5.Click on the “Search” box to
