Stay Informed

ClinVar-GKM announces releases, version changes, and events on an email list, the Google Group clinvar-gkm@broadinstitute.org. Anyone can join, and you don't need a Broad Institute or GitHub account.

What the list announces

  • Each monthly release. When a new monthly full bundle is published, an automatic message gives its link and checksum and a digest of the weekly deltas since the previous monthly: each one's date, the records it added, updated and deleted, and a direct link. The same post appears in the repository's Discussions → Announcements. Individual weekly releases aren't announced; follow the line's Atom feed, feed.xml (see Downloads), for those.
  • New versions. When a new version is ready (for example 1.1.0), with what changed and links to the Changelog and the downloads.
  • Version changes, in advance. Before any breaking change, the list carries the proposal (a Request for Comment) and its comment window. Before a republish into a new version line, it carries a notice with the switch-over date. See Versioning & Releases.
  • Corrections and known issues that affect published data. The current list is on Known Issues.
  • Events and presentations where ClinVar-GKM is featured, such as conference talks, workshops and webinars. Past decks are on Presentations.
