 To jump directly to a specific exon, type the gene symbol or transcript ID followed by the
 exon number in one of two formats:</p>
 <ul>
   <li><code>SYMBOL exon N</code> &mdash; e.g. <code>TP53 exon 5</code> or <code>NM_000546 exon 5</code></li>
   <li><code>SYMBOL:e.N</code> &mdash; compact notation from the
   <a href="https://fusions.cancervariants.org/en/latest/" target="_blank">VICC Gene Fusion Specification</a>,
   e.g. <code>TP53:e.5</code> or <code>NM_000546:e.5</code>. Optionally add an intronic offset:
   <code>SYMBOL:e.N+offset</code> navigates <em>offset</em> bases past the 3&rsquo; end of the exon
   (into the downstream intron), and <code>SYMBOL:e.N-offset</code> navigates <em>offset</em> bases
   before the 5&rsquo; start (into the upstream intron). Useful for splice site inspection:
   <code>BRCA2:e.10+2</code> lands 2&nbsp;bp into the intron after exon&nbsp;10.</li>
 </ul>
 <p>
 Exon numbering is 1-based and follows transcript order (exon&nbsp;1 is the 5&prime; exon).
 Genes are looked up in order: MANE, GENCODE/UCSC (knownGene),
-all RefSeq, then historical RefSeq. To jump to a codon instead, right-click
-any transcript in the browser and select &ldquo;Zoom to codon&rdquo;.</p>
+all RefSeq, then historical RefSeq. To jump to a codon instead, just enter it
+after the gene, e.g. "BRAF 600", use the HGVS notation (see below) or

 <h2>Sample queries</h2> 
 <p> 
 Below is a list of examples that might be used to query the Genome Browser. Note that not every 
 query listed here will produce a result in every assembly. The list serves only to illustrate the 
 different types of queries that can be performed.
