Variation Context

Example page

For the top panel describing variation details such as source and class, see this help page.

Graphical display

The picture shows the genomic assembly as a blue bar (composed of individual contigs). The selected variation (outlined by a black box) is shown in a 5 kb region along with surrounding variations. They are staggered in multiple rows for ease of viewing. A legend at the bottom indicates which colours are used for the different variation consequence types. In addition, transcripts and regulatory features annotated in this region are displayed in a similar way to the region in detail view.

In Configure this page you can modify the width of the region and select or deselect variation and regulatory feature types shown.

Table

The tables you can find on this page contain information for the region shown in the picture. All tables can be sorted by position or name.

Specific tables include:

• Structural variants
• Copy number variant probes
• Sequence variants
• Regulatory features (from Ensembl Regulation)
• Constrained elements (calculated by Ensembl Compara)
