dbvar

is a Data Source.

dbVar is NCBI's public archive of human genomic structural variation, covering large-scale variants such as insertions, deletions, duplications, inversions, copy number variants (CNVs), and translocations. It aggregates submitted structural variant calls together with their genomic placements, supporting evidence, and associated clinical assertions, and exchanges data with the European DGVa archive. dbVar provides a web portal for searching and browsing variants and regions, as well as bulk FTP downloads of variant call and region files in multiple formats. It serves as an upstream source for integrative knowledge graphs such as GenomicKB.

dbVar

Overview

dbVar is the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) public archive of human genomic structural variation. It records large-scale genomic variants, including insertions, deletions, duplications, inversions, copy number variants (CNVs), and translocations, along with their placements on reference assemblies and supporting evidence.

Access

  • Portal: search and browse structural variation studies, variants, and regions at the dbVar website
  • Bulk download: variant call and region files via the NCBI FTP site

dbVar exchanges structural variation data with the European DGVa archive and serves as an upstream source for integrative knowledge graphs such as GenomicKB.
