The Locus Plot uses a track-style browser to display a locus which can be centred on a gene, variant, or trait of interest (each known as an entity). Connecting traits, variants and genes are evidence strings which indicate an association or functional link between the entities. A link indicates that there is at least one element of functional data in at least one cell by which the two entities are associated. When navigating to the Locus Plot, certain entities will be pre-selected based on context; filters and selections can be altered at any time by clicking an entity or removing it from the applied filters.
