\title{The SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP.20101109 package}

\description{
  This package contains SNP locations and alleles for Homo sapiens
  extracted from dbSNP Build 132.
}

\details{
  SNPs from dbSNP were filtered to keep only those satisfying the 3
  following criteria:
  \itemize{
    \item The SNP is a single-base substitution i.e. its type is "snp".
          Other types used by dbSNP are: "in-del", "mixed",
          "microsatellite", "named-locus", "multinucleotide-polymorphism",
          etc... All those SNPs were dropped.
    \item The SNP is marked as notwithdrawn.
    \item A single location on the reference genome (GRCh37) is
          reported for the SNP.
  }
}

\note{
  The source data files used for this package were created by the dbSNP
  Development Team at NCBI on 9 November 2010.

  WARNING: The SNPs in this package are mapped to reference genome GRCh37.
  Note that the GRCh37 genome is the same as the hg19 genome from
  UCSC except for the mitochondrion chromosome. Therefore, the SNPs
  in this package can be "injected" in BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19
  but this injection will exclude chrM (i.e. nothing will be injected
  in that sequence).

  See \url{http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp}, the SNP Home at NCBI,
  for more information about dbSNP.

  See \code{?\link[BSgenome]{injectSNPs}} in the BSgenome software
  package for more information about the SNP injection mechanism.
