In SNP mode, the proportion of reads which either support the reference or represent a particular mismatch are shown. SNP mode makes SNPs easily identifiable by eye.

The built-in plugin manager allows one to easily browse, download, and install available plugins.

Colour schemes for tracks can be customized through track settings.

Simple and intuitive range controls allow the user to quickly navigate around the genome. Mouse and keyboard shortcuts allow for even faster navigation.

Reads aligned to a reference sequence. Mismatches are coloured according to the letter of the mismatch.

In matepair mode, an arc is drawn between the positions of paired mappings. The height of the arc also corresponds to this distance. Matepair mode makes structural variations that cause discordant matepair mappings to be identified simply by eye.

Savant features an extensive plugin framework which allows developers to create sophisticated extensions to the browser.

Spotlight mode allows one to focus precisely on a specific location of the genome.

Savant dynamically switches to a coverage representation of read alignment data to maintain memory usage while still showing meaningful information about the data.

The Bookmarks module provides the ability to add generic annotations as interesting regions are found while browsing.

Information about visualized data can be determined by mousing over it. Data can be selected and exported for further analysis.

Pre-formatted data for the human genome is made available on the Savant site for direct use.

The Table View displays the underlying textual information being displayed by the track. This data can be selected, sorted, and/or exported to file in standard formats.
