By 2012, dbVar underwent its first major improvement with a <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/database/">database</a> schema overhaul conducted in collaboration with DGVa, which vastly improved mutual data exchange capabilities. 2012 was also the year that dbVar released the <a href="/dbvar/browse/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">dbVar Genome Browser</a>, which dramatically improved our users’ ability to interpret and analyze dbVar data by allowing a side-by-side comparison of variants from any study in dbVar superimposed on an annotated set of <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/chromosome/">chromosome</a> ideograms from multiple assemblies. By 2013, dbVar saw a great advance in its ability to provide its users with deeper clinical insight when dbVar became fully integrated with <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">ClinVar</a>. The integrated relationship between dbVar and ClinVar provides dbVar users with access to in-depth information about clinical assertions associated with structural variants. With the release of the <a href="/variation/view/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Variation Viewer</a> upgrade in 2013, dbVar users could also explore structural variants side by side with small-scale variants (dbSNP) and clinical variations (ClinVar) in a genomic context. dbVar also integrated with NCBI’s <a href="/variation/tools/reporter" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Variation Reporter</a> at about the same time, allowing users to submit variation calls to find metadata for known variants, or see the predicted molecular consequence of the call if the submitted variant is novel.</p><p>The discovery of structural variants that have multiple breakpoints derived from complex genetic rearrangements spurred dbVar’s development of a <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/database/">database</a> model to capture and display complex structural variants associated with cancer and other illnesses. dbVar’s ability to capture both simple and complex structural variants was greatly improved in the fall of 2014 when it began accepting dbVar submissions in <a href="/core/assets/dbvar/files/dbVar_VCF_Submission.pdf" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Variant Call Format</a> (VCF). dbVar’s VCF submission specification is very similar to the <a href="http://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/VCFv4.2.pdf" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">1000 Genomes VCF specification v.4.2</a>, which allows for annotation of both simple and complex structural variants. dbVar's VCF specification contains modifications that allow our users to submit additional information for their structural variants with ease.</p></div><div id="dbVar.Evolution_in_Submitted_Content"><h3>Evolution in Submitted Content</h3><p>Upon its initial release, dbVar was populated with historical <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/structural-variation/">structural variation</a> data that was mined from available research literature. Because the first paper describing the prevalence of genomic structural variation data in normal human subjects was released in 2004 (<a class="bk_pop" href="#dbVar.REF.8">8</a>), there wasn’t very much historic data available, which necessarily meant that the initial population of structural variants in dbVar was limited to human. Initial submissions to dbVar in 2009 included data from human as well as from model species such as <i>Mus musculus</i>, and agriculturally important species such as <i>Bos taurus</i> and <i>Sus scrofa.</i></p><p>Currently, dbVar archives and provides access to 4.3 million variant regions from 127 studies and 16 taxa that include plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. </p></div></div><div id="dbVar.Data_Model"><h2 id="_dbVar_Data_Model_">Data Model</h2><p>dbVar stores data in a three-level nested hierarchy:</p><p>The topmost level in the dbVar nested hierarchy is called the Study (<b>std</b>), which can be either a particular publication that produced a set of data, or a community resource that submits new data on a regular basis.

The loading process itself has its own set of validations, which scan the data for errors. If the detected errors are simple, the dbVar submission team will correct them, and if the errors are complex, a member of the dbVar submission team will contact the submitter, explain the issue and ask the submitter to fix it and resubmit.</p><p>Once the submission loads to the dbVar test site successfully, the data are reviewed to verify that the data is appropriate to the submission and that the data are being displayed correctly. If the data as shown on the test site is incorrect or does not display properly, dbVar will troubleshoot any difficulties with the data.</p><p>It should be noted that we are in the process of shifting the validation processes so that all validations will take place during the conversion process.</p><div id="dbVar.Merging_Calls_into_Regions"><h4>Merging Calls into Regions </h4><p>Each submission to dbVar will contain calls (nssv) which the submitter may or may not have grouped into regions (nsv) since the region portion of the submission is optional. If the submitter decides to create and submit a region or regions, dbVar will check the method used to create the region to insure that the grouping is accurate. </p><p>If the submission does not contain any regions, the converter will automatically merge all calls that are the same type and have the same coordinates.</p><p>If a call or calls within the submitted region extend beyond the coordinates defined by the submitted range, an error warning will be generated, and the dbVar staff will review the error. If the merging error is simple, the dbVar team will resolve the issue, but if the merging error is complex, a member of the dbVar team will contact the submitter, explain the problem and send the submission back to be fixed and resubmitted. </p></div></div><div id="dbVar.Clinical_Assertions"><h3>Clinical Assertions</h3><p>Structural variants with clinical significance are submitted to ClinVar, which will then process and accession the data, and sends the data in the ClinVar <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/xml/">XML</a> format to dbVar. dbVar maps the ClinVar XML formatted data to dbVar XML format, validates the data, which then proceeds through the dbVar test site load process.</p><p>It should be noted that the integration between dbVar and ClinVar is still relatively new, so dataflow between these two resources is still in process and may change.</p></div><div id="dbVar.Association_Studies_1"><h3>Association Studies</h3><p>Structural variants contained within an association study are submitted to dbGaP.
