-                    <P>In the years since its introduction, the UCSC Genome Browser has

-                    in capacity and therefore complexity, however, even experienced users

-		    UCSC is pleased to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the 
-		    debut of the first assembled human genome sequence and its
-		    then-fledgling visualization tool, the UCSC Genome Browser. 
-		    Released on July 7, 2000, the genome sequence instantly 
-		    created unprecedented web traffic on the
-		    ucsc.edu domain as researchers around the world 
-		    scrambled to download the data: 0.5 terabytes per day, a 
-		    record that stood for many years.
-		    <P>
-		    David Haussler recounts that day: 
-		    &quot;Seeing the waterfall of As, Gs, Cs, and Ts pouring 
-		    off our server was an emotional moment. We were witnessing 
-		    the product of more than three billion years of evolution, 
-		    sequences passed down from the beginning of life to 
-		    present-day humans.&quot; <sup>1</sup>
-		    <P>
-		    The UCSC Genome Bioinformatics group is proud of the role 
-		    we have played in bringing the 
-		    human genome, as well as the genomes of many other species, 
-		    to the world.  We'd like to thank NHGRI, HHMI, and our other
-		    funding agencies for making this service possible, and
-		    also our many users and collaborators for their suggestions,
-		    contributions, and support throughout the years.  We look 
-		    forward to serving as a reliable 
-		    source of bioinformatics tools and genomic annotations in 
-		    the years to come while facing the exciting challenges 
-		    presented by rapidly advancing technology.
-		    <P>
-		    To read more about UCSC's role in the race to assemble the 
-		    first working draft of the human genome, including Jim 
-		    Kent's remarkable programming feat that pulled it all 
-		    together in the final weeks, see the
