View query results in an interactive table.	Select a row from the query results for a detailed view.	Brief descriptions of column with links to documentation tool for additional information.	View linkage disequilibrium (LD) proxies in selected populations for variant-related queries.
Download query results in Text and Excel formats.	View the query used. You can also copy it into the advanced query tool and customize the query.	The powerful custom query tool. Here the results from a simple query are filtered by a quality control measure.	Database documentation with logical groupings of tables.
