The system for specifying genomic features has been substantially enhanced
The changes can be found by clicking the "Get/Configure Features (Advanced)" button in the Enter Genomic Features section.
We will soon update the User's Guide to reflect these changes.
New features include the ability to select how features populate other features, such as selecting all transcripts that contain a given set variants.
You may also reconfigure the default order in which these relationships are processed, such as first selecting transcripts from variants and then selecting exons from transcripts.
BioQ has moved to a new server - all services appear to be running normally
The October 2011 Release of 1000 Genome databases has been updated to version 2 to provide far more links of the sites to dbSNP rs IDs.

We've changed our Subversion server from https://saclab.net/svn to https://svn.saclab.net. The new URL uses a commercial certificate so you should no longer get warnings. You will need to re-checkout any existing directories, or just use the following command to update the URL:
This version of dbSNP currently lacks the flanking sequence table _loc_flanking_seq which is only available in build 132 of the database. We're working on this and may add it later.
Some new features were added when viewing LD proxies for the query results. Now dbSNP mapping data can be inserted by clicking "Merge dbSNP". Previously any mapping data had to come from the actual query results, so if the LD proxies went outside those results you would not find mapping data for those variants.
Fixed a problem where dbSNP 134 tables were not available for download
Removed the sentence concerning downloads of dumps of complete databases on the downloads page. We are not providing dumps of complete downloads, but we may add features that make it easier to download a complete set of individual tables and load them into MySQL.
