Clearly I don't know the context of the surrounding text, but I think I'd favor some sort of list structure that introduces the information, then lists the tabs and gives brief details of the information displayed under each tab. Without more information I can't tell whether this would be appropriate, but if it is it would concentrate as much information in as small a space while being as unambiguous as possible.
Say...
'The tabs display the data as follows:
* Overview - (list of stuff under this tab)
* Category - (list of stuff under this tab)
* Locus - (list of stuff under this tab)
* Sequence - (list of stuff under this tab)
* Details - (list of stuff under this tab)'
But this might not be appropriate to the styles of your document.
Good luck, anyway - this is the sort of thing that makes editing enjoyable.
