GVM Data Submission

Welcome to submit data to the GVM data portal.

GVM adopts a data submission system consistently deployed for all database resources in National Genomic Data Center (NGDC), to accept, archive and manage VCF, GVCF, HapMap files. Users should register first, enter the data submission system, and create BioProject (an overall description of a single research initiative) and BioSample (a description of biological source material) if needed.
Submissions should consist of Variants file(s) and metadata that describe project(s), sample(s), experiment(s), and analysis procedure that lead to variants and/or genotype call(s).

Before submitting, read the GVM Submission Wizard Help

Conversion of Genetic Variation Data to VCF
It is highly recommended to consult the VCF specification guidelines when converting data to VCF, in order to ensure that file(s) generated are valid, as it is a requirement for GVM data submission. Should manual conversion to VCF be necessary, we have provided a minimal VCF file template here; this may be useful for non-technical submitters, or submitters with only a very low number of variants to report.

Contact gvm AT big.ac.cn with any question or concern about your data or submission.
