##-- The SNP Consortium FTP-site --#

This site contains public data produced by the 
SNP Consortium project. See details on the TSC
website http://snp.cshl.org for more information 
on the project.

## Table of contents ##

database/
  Complete dump of the TSC MySQL database, final release. 
  Tab-delimited textfile and CREATE statement for each table.
  Takes about 4.8Gb total on disk when decompressed and 
  about 5.6Gb when loaded into MySQL and the proper indexes 
  created.

snps/
  Data pertaining the SNP discovery effort, the main part of 
  the TSC project. Genbank accessions (fasta & qual files)
  used in trace-2-alignments, fasta- and tab-delimited 
  table dumps of SNPs by chromosome. The number of 
  SNPs discovered totalled almost 1.8 million at the end of
  the project (fall 2001). All of these SNPs have been
  deposited into dbSNP and can be accessed there.

population_studies/
  Data from the second part of the TSC project, the Allele 
  Frequency and Genotype project. Genotypes, allele frequencies
  panels used, linkage maps. Genotypes and allele frequencies
  have been deposited into dbSNP and can be accessed there.



-------------------------------------------------------------
A note on traces: TSC trace data is no longer available at this
  site. They have however been deposited into NCBI's TraceDB (URL:
  http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/Traces/trace.cgi) and can be retrieved
  collectively using the following query:

     CENTER_NAME='CSHL'

  Or individually by name with e.g. TRACE_NAME='SNPver22-222h03.q1cSCF' 

  The snp.cshl.org website will from now on link to TraceDB
  for traces associated with individual SNPs, instead of 
  internally.
