The MapSNPs genomic SNP annotation tool is part of the PolyPhen-2 Batch Query Web service. Whenever you submit genomic SNPs in the form of chromosome coordinates/alleles, a report formatted as described below will appear under the “SNPs” link on the GGI Web page. It is a plain text tab-separated file with each line annotating a corresponding protein sequence variant (amino acid residue substitution) for each missense allelic variant found in user input. Columns 18 to 32 will contain ?placeholders for SNPs annotated as non-coding; columns 33 to 37 will have values only for reference SNPs annotated in dbSNP build 135. MapSNPs filters SNP annotations in the output depending on the user selection of SNP functional categories via the Advanced Options/Annotations drop-down menu on the Batch Query Web page. Selecting “All” disables filtering and results in annotations for all SNP categories reported. However, PolyPhen-2 predictions are produced for missense SNPs only, regardless of the Advanced Options/Annotations menu selection.
