ancestral allele definition
Ancestral allele data is provided to dbSNP as part of the SNP assay data that is provided in dbSNP submissions, so we don't have a program that allows us to annotate ancestral alleles, and we don't currently have a mechanism for third party annotation of SNPs.. If the ancestral state of the SNP in which you are interested is known, and is contained in dbSNP, look in the âAlleleâ section of the the RefSNP page, which is located at the top right hand side of the report.
