Browsing SNPs and Copy Number Variation in Ensembl 

Short sequence variants such as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and larger structural variants like Copy Number Variation (CNVs) can be viewed in the Ensembl browser (www.ensembl.org). This video shows you how to view short variants along the sequence, how to view larger scale variations for a gene, and brings you to a region of the genome. Specific variation data sets like 1000 Genomes populations are explored. We end with the variation tab; a wealth of information about one sequence variant.
