Actually I am an engineer and new to bioinformatics. I am currently working on how to achieve data privacy on genomic data, for which I need human SNPs data. Like I need SNPs data for at least 100 humans. Where can I find only human SNPs data?

Did you take a look at 1000G? You can find snps of a 1000 humans!

Yes, this is the link in 1000G where I am looking ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/data/. I am not able to see any SNP sequences here. Can you please provide me the exact link if possible.

You are looking at alignments now, I guess you want the variants called already? Look for the VCF files, like [here](ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20130502/).

Thanks for the response!! I am not fully aware about the technical terms in bio. Can you please provide some information about the alignments and the variants?  How to distinguish between them?

Also are the human SNPs of same length?

Maybe you should start to read something about SNPs first, if you would know what the abbreviation SNP stands for, you would know they all have the same length of 1 nucleotide. Please read something about SNPs and next-generation sequencing first, this forum is not meant to repeat the basic information that is for example available on wiki or other websites.

<p>How can I retrieve only SNPs from the dbSNP's <a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/.redesign/latest_release/JSON/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FTP site</a>. The files are gzipped and organized by human chromosome (i.e, chr[1-22,X,Y]), are these for one human? I need only SNPs data for various humans.</p>

Welcome to Bioinformatics. Could you please explain to which files are you talking (provide a link or explain the route to them)? I went to the ftp site and I couldn't find the folders. Related: have you look at this [alert](ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606/database/ALERT_README.txt)?

The files present at this link ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/.redesign/latest_release/JSON

The readme says these files are for build 150  and the database is already by build 151

# How to retrieve SNPs data of different humans?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-18)

How can I retrieve only SNPs from the dbSNP's [FTP site](ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/.redesign/latest_release/JSON/). The files are gzipped and organized by human chromosome (i.e, chr[1-22,X,Y]), are these for one human? I need only SNPs data for various humans.

If you mean that you want snps from individuals, instead of all together, you can find them in [1000 genomes](http://www.internationalgenome.org/data). Here different individuals from different populations are sequenced and variants are called, including snps.

Maybe you should add to your question what your goal is, what would you like to find?
