The variome is the whole set of genetic variations found in populations of species that have gone through a relatively short evolution change.
In practice, the variome can be the sum of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), indels, and structural variation (SV) of a population or species.
The Human Variome Project seeks to compile this genetic variation data worldwide.
Many curated databases has been established to document the impact of clinically significant sequence variations, such as dbSNP [1] or ClinVar.
[4] The HapMap Project aims to identify and catalog genetic similarities and differences among humans.
