Customise Ensembl
On each of the tab pages you will find options that will enable you to configure the data presented on the screen, manage your own data, and export sequence and alignments (Figure 38). Here we discuss configuring a page. We’ll investigate the other options in following pages.

Configure this page
Available for all tabs (location, gene, transcript, variant and regulation). The configuration panel enables you to control data types displayed in the view (Figure 39).

The configuration panel on the gene summary view is shown above. Note, the selection on the gene summary view is a subset of what is available on region in detail.
The data is divided into menus, highlighted in blue at the left of the image. Select data tracks from the menu, or use the ‘Find a track’ option in the upper right-hand corner. Close the menu (click on the tick in the upper right-hand corner) to visualise new tracks on your display.
