Where can I find a detailed description of the methodology used in autoSNPdb?
The method for SNP discovery is described in several papers, including:

What sequences do you use and where do the sequences come from?
autoSNPdb concentrates on finding SNPs from EST sequences. All of the EST sequences used in the autoSNPdb databases were
downloaded from the NCBI GenBank public database. autoSNPdb is also compatible with Roche 454 sequences.
This site will run perfectly with Mozilla Firefox but not with Internet Explorer.
We chose Firefox as our primary development platform as it is free and available for a wide range of operating systems.
