# Selecting regions to display using our lipids data
# Selecting regions to display using our lipids data<br><br>The plots were designed to examine ~ 1 Megabase windows of the genome, although for regions with several association signals or long-range linkage disequilibrium patterns, plots extending as large as a few Mb can be drawn. The user can specify the region to display in the LocusZoom plot in one of three ways; 1) an index SNP and a flanking region, 2) the chromosome together with start and stop positions (in basepairs), 3) gene name and a flanking region.
# Displaying LD information<br><br>In the main plot window, data points are colored according to their level of linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the index SNP. If users specify the region to display using an index SNP and flanking region, LD of all data points will be relative to the user-specified index SNP. If users specify the region to display using options 2 and 3 above, LocusZoom will select the most significant SNP in the region. For all other SNPs in the plot, the color of the data point will reflect the pair-wise LD patterns with this index SNP. The default LD which will be displayed is r2 from the HapMap CEU population (release 22), but users have the option to select either r2 or D’ from; HapMap CEU, HapMap YRI, Hapmap CHB+JPT, 1000 Genomes CEU. Because we have pre-computed LD for all SNPs in HapMap CEU, plots will generate very quickly if using the default LD information, provided the region to display is less than 500kb either side of the index SNP. SNPs with missing LD information are shown in grey.
