GVM – Genome Variation Map

Credit by: Cuiping Li

The Genome Variation Map (GVM; https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/gvm) is a public repository of genome variations, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and small insertions and deletions (indel). Unlike NCBI dbSNP (dedicated only for human genome variations since September 2017), GVM features data collection for a wide range of species and accepts data submissions from all over the world. During the past year, GVM has been significantly updated by reorganizing data entities and metadata into six modules in terms of species, project, sample, variation, association, and submission, and received 56 genome variation data submissions involving 43,754 samples from 26 species. Till August 2020, GVM houses a total of ∼960 million variants derived from 191 projects and 64,820 samples and covering 13 animals, 25 plants and 3 viruses.
