How to Load Variant Specific Data ?
A step-by-step guide to loading data for a specific variant by entering a CPRA or rs ID and confirming your release settings.
1. Enter a variant CPRA ID or rs ID
To load variant specific data, enter a variant CPRA ID (chromosome number, position of the variant, reference allele, and the alternative allele) into the ‘Variant’ field on the left, shown in figure 1 (e.g. 10-114758349-C-T).
Alternatively, enter an rs ID number from the dbSNP database, e.g rs7903146. If more than one variant is associated with the rs ID, a pop up window will prompt you to select one of the matching options.

2. Check or amend your release settings
Release – Check the pre-selected release (e.g. from the Browse Datasets tool), or select the required release using the release selection options.
Ensembl – View the reference used by the dataset.
