Hi Greg,

Sometimes dbSNP dumps their database files to their FTP 
site, but then discovers a problem and re-dumps the files.  
Since there has not been a formal release announcement 
on <[email protected]>, I asked dbSNP 
<[email protected]> whether the human b132* 
files that are currently available for download are 
final, and they said hopefully they will be final 
later this week:

  We will redump FTP this week to apply a small patch
  affecting about 12K SNPs for a clustering problem.

So if you download the current files dated 10/13, the 
vast majority of the data should be the same but not 100%.  

If you would like to subscribe to dbSNP announcements:
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/dbsnp-announce

It usually takes a couple days after their announcement for 
me to load the track on our test server.  I'll let you know 
when it has been loaded, again with the caveat that it has 
not been through our formal QA process, and is subject to 
change especially if we find problems and report them to 
dbSNP.  

Hope that helps,
Angie
