Description

denovo-db (version 1.6.1) is a curated database of germline de novo variants in the human genome, defined as variants present in children but absent in their parents. With advancements in whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing, denovo-db consolidates data from extensive genetic studies, including those on neurodevelopmental disorders, but is not restricted to specific phenotypes. This database provides essential resources for researchers investigating variant characteristics, mutability, and associated phenotypes.

Display Convention and Configuration

The denovo-db track's mouseover tooltip provides the following information about the data:

Methods

denovo-db was assembled by integrating published literature on de novo variants identified through large-scale whole-exome and whole-genome studies. Variants in the database are annotated with relevant genetic information, including functional scores like CADD and validation status, ensuring utility for genetic research. As of version 1.6, the database includes data from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC), with usage restrictions detailed on the denovo-db's Usage page.
