[[!meta title="Making a dbsnp mirror"]] If you're doing genetics and use SNP, you've probably often wanted to extract information from dbSNP. A long time ago, I wrote some scripts to scrape their webpages for information. Now that I'm dealing with millions of SNPs, that's no longer possible. I needed my own mirror of dbSNP. I did this as of build 132, and since they've now released build 135, I wrote up [[what to do|genetics/dbsnp_mirror]], and shared the [git repository](http://git.donarmstrong.com/dbsnp.git) which has the utilities and schemas I used.
