Check out CIViC's latest pre-print. New Evidence Types, Organizations, Variant Assertions, support for germline variants. This paper has it all!
Finally released into the wild! civicdb.org is not a project to be labeled "done" but you can read up on all the latest: Evolution of the open-access CIViC knowledgebase is driven by the needs of the cancer variant interpretation community doi.org/10.1101/2021.06.13.4…

Humongous accomplishment! Congrats. We're excited to continue contributing variant Assertions to ClinVar!
Today, @NCBI_Clinical's ClinVar reached one million variants in the database! Thanks to the clinical testing/research labs, expert panels, & others who share data. Their efforts mean the clinical genetics community can provide patients w/ better interpretations of variants.
