European Variation Archive version 1.0

Version 1.0 of the European Variation Archive (EVA) includes new datasets for human, chicken, Aedes aegypti, sorghum, maize and five barley cultivars. 

New datasets

Human

• 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3 release V3+
• GenomeDK: The Genome Denmark Project
• MGP: Medical Genome Project healthy controls from Spanish population
• The National FINRISK Study
• The Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) v. 0.3
• Prognostic factors of early response to TKI in chronic myeloid leukemia by whole exome sequencing
• Prognostic factors of stable remission after cessation of TKI therapy in chronic myeloid leukemia by whole exome sequencing.

Chicken

• Detection and characterisation of small insertions and deletions in modern layer chicken genomes.

Aedes aegypti

• A multipurpose, high-throughput SNP chip for the dengue and yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti.

Sorghum

• Whole-genome sequencing reveals untapped genetic potential in sorghum.

Maize

• Biology of rare alleles in maize.

Barley

• Sequencing of five barley cultivars.

New features 

• All variants in the EVA are now annotated with Ensembl's Variant Effect Predictor consequences
• New search tools let you filter by consequence type(s) and protein substitution score(s)
• The EVA now has a tab for viewing population statistics for 1000Genomes data (to be available for other datasets in future).
