[dbsnp-announce] dbSNP retired non-human organism data from Entrez search

[Public announcements regarding dbSNP]

dbSNP Non-human organisms data have been removed from Entrez search (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp) as a part of the phase-out plan announced last year (https://ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2017/05/09/phasing-out-support-for-non-human-genome-organism-data-in-dbsnp-and-dbvar/).  Live web searches and requests by eUtils API (eSearch, eFetch, etc.) for non-human dbSNP data are no longer available.

In the next few months, dbSNP will also begin retiring non-human data from these web searches and archiving the FTP data.

FTP:
Non-human FTP data will move to the archive directory (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/archive/) and will be available until September 2018.

dbSNP human data will still be available but are currently being transitioned to the new design (https://ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2017/07/07/dbsnp-redesign-supports-future-data-expansion/) with new products ready for testing including new JSON data files, RefSNP page, and API.
