There are a number of open-access variation datasets available for the genomics community. These are found on numerous FTP servers, various literature resources and probably one or two thousand hard-drives that are floating across the globe. We can consider this ‘data sharing’; however, it is difficult to conclusively track variant data shared in this manner, associate such variants with the correct sample(s) or indeed track these datasets in terms of updated releases. At the European Variation Archive (EVA), we aim to permit the sharing of normalized variant datasets, and the annotation of such, in a much more structured and accountable manner. This webinar introduces how to browse and get the most out of the data in EVA.
