Regulation data can be selected from the Location Tab. You can configure the Region in detail panel to display tracks linked to regulation.

The Regulation tracks are grouped into subdivisions:

• Regulatory Features: these can be visualised using the 'Regulatory features' track.
• Motif features: for human and mouse, a track showing transcription factor (TF) motif hits validated by ChIP-seq of the corresponding TF.
• Activity by Cell/Tissue: select the tissue or cell type (epigenome) of interest to display peaks, signal and regulatory feature activity across the genome.
• Other regulatory regions: imported tracks from external databases.
