Flanking sequence

Example page

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

The sequence used to place a variation (indicated in red as an ambiguity code within the sequence) is displayed. The sequence can be either on the forward or the reverse strand of the genome (please be aware of this when placing a variation within the context of a gene).

Note, the submitted sequence around the variation (to dbSNP) may differ from the Ensembl reference sequence. In this case, an alignment between the reference and submitted sequence is shown. This can be deselected using the configure this page tool button at the left of the view.
