About Database of Genomic Variants

The Database of Genomic Variants is a curated catalogue of human genomic structural variation. Users can search by keyword, landmark, or genomic region, using GRCh37/hg19, GRCh38/hg38, or NCBI36/hg18 coordinates, and can browse variants by study, sample, method, variant type, platform, or chromosome. The site also offers a genome browser, downloadable data, a query tool, and a section for submitting data. The homepage reports 95 studies in the catalogue.

The site is hosted by The Centre for Applied Genomics and states that it receives grant support. Its homepage asks users to read a usage disclaimer, and the details of that disclaimer are not included in the homepage text. Pricing is unknown.
