Finding the variant tab
There are a number of ways that you can access the variation tab.
Access from the Ensembl home page:
Search for a variant (e.g. rs1333049) using the search box on the Ensembl home page (Figure 28). The search results will take you to the variation tab (see ‘How to search Ensembl‘ for more information).


Access from other views:
Click on an ambiguity code from the transcript cDNA sequence view (Figure 29) (See ‘More transcript information‘).

- Add the variations to the sequence view, and click on any of the variation IDs.
- Click on a variation ID from the gene variant table.
- Turn on the variation track in the location tab, and click on a variant of interest.
