Repetitive elements are very prolific throughout the human genome (up to 60% of the HG). SNPs are annotated by their position, not by their flanking sequences. I would be very interested in finding SNPs that are located in conserved repetitive elements (e.g. pseudogenes) throughout the genome. Would there be a database which specialises in 'repetitive SNPs' as defined by their location in REs. I'm aware this could be done using the UCSC GB/Ensembl, but that wouldn't be as clear.
