Dear Jingyuan, The bin field is used to speed up our queries.
Unfortunately the SNP tracks don't contain haplotype information. A track that may interest you is the HapMap SNPs Track on hg18. If this track doesn't provide the information that you are interested in, please take a look at HapMap site: http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ If you have further questions, feel free to contact the mailing list.

I used the Table browser to do that. In the output format, I see one field called "bin". The SNPs are grouped. It is very nice and I do want to group the SNPs by the hyplotypes. However, I could not find any document or reference how the SNPs are binned. Can you provide me more detailed information about the methods for binning.
