Hi,

I have a quick question about how to interpret the fields when I used the
Table browser to obtain ancestral allele information. I think it will be
easiest if I explain my problem with an example

For dbSNP rs11040198,
I understand that the human and chimp allele are G on the positive strand.
For orangutan and macaque, the "G" allele is on the negative strand.  Does
this mean that for orangutan and macaque actually have "C'" at the +ve
strand. I am not sure how to use the strand information to figure out how
they are comparable to each other. My reading of this would be that human
and chimp have the same allele, G, at that position, but orangutan and
macaque have a C. Am I correct? Thanks for your help.

Best,
Suganthi
