• WayStation will provide a central point with a consistent interface and format for the submission and collection of human genetic variation data.
• WayStation will direct submitted data to a Review Board for approval.
• When variations are approved, WayStation will release them to the appropriate Locus Specific Databases, the central, dbSNP & other databases.
• WayStation has developed a detailed Genome Variation Reports (GVR) definition in cooperation with members of the Human Genome Variation Society, Wiley-Liss Inc. and United States National Library of Medicine (NCBI). In general, single, novel, unpublished variations fulfilling minimum data content criteria will be considered for GVR status.
• The goal is that novel variations will be published electronically as GVRs in Human Mutation, A Wiley-Liss, Inc., publication.
