executing a query that may be excessive?

[Jamie Engert]

Hello,

I was going to query for all genes overlapping w/ a 2.5 million SNP list (for humans).

Wasn't sure if that was excessive, so I thought I would ask.

thanks,

jamie

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for your question about executing a potentially large query.
Could you provide more details on what you are trying to do? What is
your input format for these SNPs: rsIDs, positions, or pgSnp/VCF file?
Additionally, which of our tools were you planning on using for this
query, our main site at http://genome.ucsc.edu/, our public MySQL
server, or something else?

I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please reply
to gen...@soe.ucsc.edu. All messages sent to that address are archived
on a publicly-accessible Google Groups forum. If your question includes
sensitive data, you may send it instead to genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.
