Notice of change to DGV display

As a result of discussions surrounding the representation of structural variants at the recent ISCA meeting, groups at DGV, NCBI and DECIPHER have decided to standardize colour schemes for gains and losses. Moving forward, deletions/losses will be displayed as red, gains/duplications will be displayed as blue. Regions where both gains and losses occur at the same locus will be represented as brown, and we will continue to represent inversions as purple. In addition to ensuring the colour schemes are consistent across databases, changes have also been implemented to ensure ease of use for individuals with red-green colour blindness. Please contact DGV by email at dgv-contact@sickkids.ca if you have any questions or comments.
