Hello Tao Peng,

On the SNP details page, which you can get to by clicking on the blue- 
or grey-bar on the left-hand side of the track, there are some options 
for coloring various subsets of SNPs.

Using these controls, you could for example, make all functional 
non-synonymous SNPs "red".

You can also uncheck many of the checkboxes on the details page to 
exclude sets of SNPs from being displayed.

Alternatively, you can create a Custom Track, containing only the data 
that you want.  Here is information on making a Custom Track:

I hope this information is helpful to you.  Please don't hesitate to 
contact us again if you require further assistance.
