Hi

 

I downloaded the the Table: snp132Common from Track: Common SNPs(132).  

 

A quick statistics is shown as below:

 

#type of validation      count

by-1000genomes  4698898

by-2hit-2allele 1064881

by-cluster      3412491

by-frequency    2847474

by-hapmap       717332

by-submitter    138079

unknown 54311

 

I saw only 717332 from hapmap, while in Hapmap FTP site
(ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/hapmap), I saw over 4 million SNPs. 

Why is there such a huge difference?  Thanks

 

Also, where could I found a more detailed README regarding those
validation types, so that I can have a better idea of assess each type?
Currently, I can only assume Hapmap and 1000Genomes are more reliable
than the others.

*       Validation
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_legend.cgi?legend=validation> :
Method used to validate the variant (each variant may be validated by
more than one method)

        *       By Frequency - at least one submitted SNP in cluster has
frequency data submitted
        *       By Cluster - cluster has at least 2 submissions, with at
least one submission assayed with a non-computational method
        *       By Submitter - at least one submitter SNP in cluster was
validated by independent assay
        *       By 2 Hit/2 Allele - all alleles have been observed in at
least 2 chromosomes
        *       By HapMap - submitted by HapMap
<http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>  project (human only)
        *       By 1000Genomes - submitted by 1000Genomes
<http://1000genomes.org/>  project (human only)
        *       Unknown - no validation has been reported for this
variant

Thanks
