Dear Genome Browser team,

 ���� Thank you very much for your previous detailed explanations. 

 ���� I still have some other questions:
 �� 
 ��� 1. Some SNPs are uniquely mapped in reference genome, but they still
labeled as "MultipleAllignments". 
 ������� For example, rs1002187. For your convenience, the following is
the output from UCSC table browser. 

 chr6�������������������� 29583446 rs1002187 near-gene-3
MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments, chr6_cox_hap1
930755����� rs1002187 near-gene-3
MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments, chr6_qbl_hap2
732699����� rs1002187 near-gene-3
MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments, 

 ������ I checked the SNP in dbSNP,� and found that chr6_cox_hap1 and
chr6_gbl_hap2 are from alt_assembly _3 and alt_assembly_4 respectively.�
Could you tell me what is happening here? Did I interpret the output
wrong?

 ��� 2.� Does other exception terms refer to reference genome only? Can I
be confident that if a SNP has exception "n/a", then it is uniquely mapped
to the reference genome and is problem free during mapping process? 

 ���� Thank you again for your help!

 Best regards,

 Weizi

 Hi Weizi,

 MultipleAlignments is assigned only when dbSNP has multiple mappings to
the reference genome -- we ignore mappings to alternate assemblies. 

 Regarding "MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments": In the table
snp130Exceptions, there is a separate row for each mapping of a
multiply-aligned snp, so each multiply-aligned rs ID has at least two rows
in snp130Exceptions. E.g. rs713 has 3 mappings, so 3 rows:

 chrX 153145901 153145902 rs713 MultipleAlignments
 chrX 153108783 153108784 rs713 MultipleAlignments
 chrX 153071653 153071654 rs713 MultipleAlignments

 Some part of our software might be collapsing those rows by ID and
concatenating the exception field. Is it some kind of Table Browser query
where you see MultipleAlignments,MultipleAlignments", or in a different
tool? 

 Hope that helps, and please write us at [email protected] if you have
any other questions,
 Angie
