Filter and Sort

The filter toolbar helps you filter by individual annotation fields while showing result counts for each option. Use checkmarks (✓) to include specific values and minus signs (-) to exclude them.

Let's filter to show only SNPs by excluding other variant types:

Open the 'type' filter and use minus boxes to exclude unwanted variant types

Examine mutation types using the refSeq.exonicAlleleFunction field. This shows the coding impact of variants on protein sequences.

Use the exonicAlleleFunction filter to focus on specific mutation types like nonsense or missense variants

Common filtering strategies:

• Exclude synonymous mutations to focus on protein-changing variants
• Include only stopGain for nonsense mutations
• Filter for nonSynonymous missense variants

After filtering, use the Sort ⇅ button to organize your results by genomic position, functional impact, allele frequency, or quality scores.

Use the sort button to sort by any sortable field

Sort by chromosome to organize variants by genomic location

Check the applied filters and sorts below the search bar. Click the gray bubble to see the exact query syntax that generates your results.
