Comparable Tags
This table shows similar-but-not identical tags that are used across Variation resources at NCBI.
| dbSNP | dbVar | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CLNORIGIN | ORIGIN | A string that describes the origin of the variant allele. One or more of the following values may be assigned in dbSNP: 0 unknown; 1 germline; 2 somatic; 4 inherited; 8 paternal; 16 maternal; 32 denovo; 64 biparental; 128 uniparental; 256 nottested; 512 testedinconclusive; 1073741824 other. dbVar has other values for ORIGIN, which are not in CLNORIGIN. |
| RS | CALLID | Variant identifier. dbVar accessions RefSNPs and dbVar accessions regions and calls. |
| SAO | ORIGIN | An integer that indicates variant allele origin. The accepted values for this tag are: 0 - unspecified, 1 - Germline, 2 - Somatic, 3 - Both. Note : "SAO" is "SNP Allele Origin". We have changed "SNP" to the more inclusive term "variant"; the tag "SAO" remains in the vcf files. |
| SOMATIC | ORIGIN | In dbVar, SOMATIC as well as some of the values in SAO are found in ORIGIN. |
| VC | SVTYPE | Describes the Variation Class of the variant, these include SNP, DIP, INDELs, STR, MNP, etc. |
