We’re happy to report that variations are now displayed on the Genome Browser and Gene Summary images using their familiar public names (eg m2). Public names were temporarily concealed by the introduction of unique identifiers for variations. This behind-the-scenes change was made to more effortlessly track variations from resequencing and population genetics studies. We apologize for any difficulties this modification may have caused.
