dbSNP
Database facts
Q: What information is given?
A: Short variations in nucleotide sequence from many different organisms. It contains following information:
- mutations of different categories:
- single nucleotide variations
- indels
- short tandem repeats
- microsatellites
- additional information for rare variations
- disease relationship
- genotype information
- allele origin
- somatic or germline events
Q: How recent is the release?
A: Current version of dbSNP is build 137. dbSNP web query, ftp data and Entrez Indexing were released on Jun 26, 2012. New release of BLAST database is not yet done. The newest release of BLAST database was released on Nov 14, 2011 from build 135.
Q: Where does the information come from?
A: dbSNP is created by the cooperation of the National Human Genome Research Institute and the National Center for Biotechnology Information. It is integrated with the NCBI Genomic data.

SNPdbe
Database facts
Q: What information is given?
A: Experimentally annotated effects of non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNP). Computationally annotated structural and functional effects of nsSNP. Association between nsSNP and diseases.
Q: How recent is the release?
A: The most recent update took place on Mar 05, 2013.
Q: Where does the information come from?
A: Experimentally annotated nsSNP from dbSNP; Variants from UniProt and PMD; Genomic data from 1000 Genome collection.

SNPedia
Database facts
Q: What information is given?
A: The wiki style project 'SNPedia' is open to the internet community. Its content contains information about effects of SNPs. Annotations from wide range of internet resources such as the dbSNP project, Ensembl or even google search are included into SNPedia. It tries to gather all SNP related information to one web site.
Q: How recent is the release?
A: Due to contribution of its user community, new updates could occur at any time point. But still it depends on the release of other SNP related resources.
Q: Where does the information come from?
A: Many different public available databases, resources about SNPs.
