## Description

This track contains information about a subset of the single nucleotide polymorphisms and small insertions and deletions (indels) — collectively Simple Nucleotide Polymorphisms — from dbSNP build 134, available from ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp. Only SNPs that have been mapped to multiple locations in the reference genome assembly are included in this subset. When a SNP's flanking sequences map to multiple locations in the reference genome, it calls into question whether there is true variation at those sites, or whether the sequences at those sites are merely highly similar but not identical.

The default maximum weight for this track is 3, unlike the other dbSNP build 134 tracks which have a maximum weight of 1. That enables these multiply-mapped SNPs to appear in the display, while by default they will not appear in the All SNPs(134) track because of its maximum weight filter.
