Dear Rhead,

For the first example, what record should I keep?
when I look the rsID 3115865 in dbSNP 
page(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=3115865), I cannot 
find the chromosome position in the dbSNP page. Why you assign 741579 on chr1 
for this rsID? While for the second rsID, I found the right chr position for it.

Did you have a detailed illustration on the UCSC FAQ website showing why you 
keep two(sometimes three or more) rsID for the  identical chr position?

For example, for the three records for one chr position, which should I keep, 
the first or the last one, or none of them is a confident SNP???

585     chr1    12479   12480   rs62028715      0       +       C       C       
C/G     genomic single  unknown 0       0       unknown exact   3       
MultipleAlignments      BCMHGSC_JDW,    0                               
585     chr1    12479   12480   rs78725323      0       -       C       C       
C/G     genomic single  unknown 0       0       unknown exact   3       
MultipleAlignments      ENSEMBL,        1       C,      2.000000,       
1.000000,       maf-5-some-pop,maf-5-all-pops
585     chr1    12479   12480   rs78735090      0       +       C       C       
C/G     genomic single  by-frequency    0.48    0.09798 unknown exact   3       
MultipleAlignments      1       ENSEMBL,        2       G,C,    
4.000000,6.000000,      0.400000,0.600000,      maf-5-some-pop,maf-5-all-pops

But for the SNP on the following chr position:
585     chr1    10439   10440   rs112155239     0       +       C       C       
A/C     genomic single  unknown 0       0       unknown exact   1               
1       BCM-HGSC-SUB,   0                               
585     chr1    10439   10440   rs112766696     0       +       C       C       
-/C     genomic deletion        unknown 0       0       unknown exact   1       
        1       BUSHMAN,        2       -,C,    1.000000,1.000000,      
0.500000,0.500000,

which record should I regard as confident? for they both have no 
"MultipleAlignments" annotation.

I am eagerly to know all the details and which record(or rsID) should I 
consider as confident. 


All my best,

Jiangtao
