This Quick Start guide is intended for the users of the web-based Human Variation: Annotate and Submit Batch Data site, and contains information and step by step instructions for an array of topics covering the entire variation batch submission process. The subject matter in this guide ranges from creating a handle and filling out the submission form, to the steps of submission processing and what to do should your validation fail.

As the Variation Batch Submission Quick Start guide is arranged as a topical reference, you don’t have to read it from beginning to end to find specific pieces of information. If there are topics you’d like to see in this guide that are not currently included, please email nimda-pns.

Please consult the dbSNP FAQ Archive submission section, which contains answers to many complex submission questions. If you still are unable to find the answer to your question, email snoissimbus PNS.
