Eurie: Can the results be uniqued if there are duplicates? For example, entering the same input will result in duplicate rows. Try

14	100705101	100705102
14	100705101	100705102

OR

rs78077282
rs78077282

Ben's response: I suppose so ... but I think we have to do it at the "output snp" level rather than the input. Because if 2 overlapping ranges are entered the input will look the same but some of the output will be duplicated. The ranges are first converted to lists of valid (common) snps and the looked up for their scores.

I didn't do this originally because I was concerned with speed/memory for very large input sets... but since those aren't functioning now anyway, I think it would be reasonable to track if a given SNP is entered and not look it up/report it another time.
