Igv Dbsnp Version "1.3.1"

Question

[learnerforever]

While using IGV to see alignments against hg19, the dbSNP track has version "1.3.1". Does anyone know what this corresponds to? dbSNP132? 134? Something else?

Typo? - they spell skeletal wrong in the Bodymap data for hg19.

maybe dbSNP131? ;)

dbSNP130 is the only one that has been mapped to both hg18 and hg19 (originally to hg18, and then migrated to hg19), so if you use hg18 you can only use dbSNP130 and below, and if you use hg19 you may use dbSNP130 and above. regarding IGV, it currently has available from their server dbSNP131 only for hg19, and dbSNP129 plus dbSNP130 for hg18.
