+	- New UCSC Genes Track Released for GRCh37/hg19</b></font>
+	</p>
  
+	<p>
+	We're happy to announce the release of an updated UCSC Genes
+	track for the GRCh37/hg19 human Genome Browser. 
+	The new release has 82,960 total transcripts, compared with 
+	80,922 in the previous version. The total number of canonical 
+	genes has increased from 31,227 to 31,848. Comparing the new 
+	gene set with the previous version:
+	<ul>
+	<li>74,657 transcripts did not change between versions.
+	<li>88 transcripts were not carried forward to the new version.
+	<li>5,556 transcripts are "compatible" with those in the previous set, 
+	meaning that the two transcripts show consistent splicing. 
+	In most cases, the old and new transcripts differ in the 
+	lengths of their UTRs.
+	<li>621 transcripts overlap with those in the previous set but 
+	do not show consistent splicing, i.e., they contain overlapping 
+	introns with differing splice sites.
+	</ul>
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	More details about the new UCSC Genes track can be found on
+	the <a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=knownGene"
+	>UCSC Genes track description page</a>.

+	Many thanks to Brian Raney, Jim Kent, and Luvina Guruvadoo 
+	for their work on this track!
