Hi All,

We are currently analyzing whole exome sequencing data produced by 'SureSelect Human All Exon v.1 Kit' .

We've found that most of SNPs with the form 'var_chr*_<number>' and the rest of SNPs with the standard form 'rs_<number>'.

The example is given as below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>

1 var_chr1_69270 0 69270 A G

1 rs140739101 0 69428 G T

1 rs142004627 0 69453 A G

1 rs75062661 0 69511 A G

1 rs55874132 0 69552 C G

1 var_chr1_69569 0 69569 C T

1 var_chr1_69761 0 69761 T A

1 var_chr1_69897 0 69897 T C

Could you maybe give any hint about this? What does 'var_chr*_<number>' mean? Many thanks for your information!
