+ Re-engineered OMIM Tracks Released </B></FONT>
  		    <P>
- 		    We've released an updated set of UCSC Genes for the mm9 
- 		    (NCBI Build 37) mouse Genome Browser. This version of the 
- 		    gene set was generated using the same computational 
- 		    pipeline as the previous mm9 UCSC Genes, but is based on 
- 		    more recent GenBank data.
- 		    <P>
- 		    The new release has 55,419 total transcripts, compared with 
- 		    49,409 in the previous version. The total number of canonical
- 		    genes has increased from 27,389 to 28,661.
+                     We announce today the release of our newly re-engineered OMIM 
+                     (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) tracks for both hg18 and 
+                     hg19. With the kind assistance of Ada Hamosh (director), 
+                     Joanna Amberger and Francois Schiettecatte of the OMIM project, 
+                     we have divided the OMIM records into three separate tracks:

+                     track group below the browser graphic
+                     and are searchable by OMIM number. In most cases, 
+                     simply typing the 6-digit MIM number into the position/search box 
+                     on the Browser will take you to the record.
