Leiden Open Variation Database (LOVD)

LOVD stands for Leiden Open (source) Variation Database. LOVD is designed to provide a flexible, freely available tool for gene-centered collection and display of DNA variations.

LOVD was developed approaching the "LSDB-in-a-Box" idea for the easy creation and maintenance of a fully web-based gene sequence variation database, which is platform-independent and uses PHP and MySQL open source software only. The basic gene-centered and modular design of the database follows the recommendations of the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) and focuses on the collection and display of the DNA sequence variations but it is extendable with clinical data with minimal effort. The open LOVD set up also facilitates functional extensions with scripts written by the community.
