I am looking for a way to obtain SNP names from their coordinates (Chromosome:BP) - very much the reverse of the question answered here:
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20251612/map-snp-ids-to-genome-coordinates)
Example: I have identified that a SNP at position 64377836 on Chromosome 17 is associated with a certain factor in my analysis and would like to find out whether it has a SNP ID and what this ID is.
Manually, I can search databases for Chr17:64377836 and find rs668 - but I would like to find a way to do this automatically, preferably in R.
Is this possible in R - and if so, how?
