+sapiens extracted from NCBI dbSNP Build 144.  The source data files used for
+this package were created by NCBI on May 29-30, 2015, and contain SNPs mapped
+to reference genome GRCh37.p13.  Note that the GRCh37.p13 genome is a
+patched version of GRCh37.  However the patch doesn't alter chromosomes 1-22,
+X, Y, MT. GRCh37 itself is the same as the hg19 genome from UCSC *except* for
+the mitochondrion chromosome.  Therefore, the SNPs in this package can be
+injected in @code{BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19} and they will land at the
+correct position but this injection will exclude chrM (i.e. nothing will be
+injected in that sequence).")
