Hi
I am trying to determine strand orientation for SNPs using the output from 
"http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables"; (all SNPs(135)).

 This is in order to impute using 1000 genomes data which requires you to know 
the strand orientation of the data. I want to be sure that I fully understand 
this table and I am getting the information I need.

In the attached file (exported from tables/SNPs) I have highlighted 4 columns. 
Does the "Strand" column refer to the "observed" column. i.e. the observed 
column for  rs1000073 it is on the "-" strand because it is ("C/T"). For 
rs1000073 the "+" strand equivalent is "A" (from refUCSC). Obviously you cannot 
use this approach for AT or CG, but I have illumina data and 99% of SNPs are 
unambiguous.
Is this correct?
Regards
John
