The European Variation Archive (EVA) is a primary open repository for archiving, accessioning, and distributing genetic variation, including single nucleotide variants, short insertions and deletions (indels), and larger structural variants (SVs) in any species. Created in 2014 to provide FAIR access to genetic variation data, it has since grown to be a primary resource for genomic variants hosting >3 billion records and now maintains and provides the permanent variant locus identifiers (rs IDs) for all non-human species.
