 However, these databases are of varying completeness and individualistic, so the Human Variome Project was born to establish a central project to encourage the collection and sourcing of this data, verifying it and ultimately using it for improved health outcomes.Geneticists, Diagnosticians, Researchers and Bio-informatics scientists came together in June 2006 at the Human Variome Project Meeting, organized by Professor Cotton’s team, and agreed take on the task of organising data collection and unifying the systems of data access and storage.This initiative builds on substantial pilot work and achievements of the Human Genome Variation Society.
