Hello,

We noticed that the data point is actually set to be between bases. Perhaps you 
need to make a correction in the coordinates so that the base with the SNP is 
specified? Right now the start and stop are the same value - the need to be one 
different to represent a single base.

Some coordinate help:

bedGraph format help: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bedgraph.html

Another format that may be interesting to try is bigWig: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat#format6.1
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html

If you would recreate the data so that the datapoints are per base, we can 
start a review process.

Thank you,
Jennifer
