+	- 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"

+	Many thanks to Brian Raney, Jim Kent, and Luvina Guruvadoo

         - New Official European Mirror Released</b></font>
         </p>
 
         <p>
         The UCSC Genome Browser is pleased to announce the
         introduction of a new mirror site to serve our users
         in Europe.  Genome-euro is an official European mirror
         site of the UCSC Genome Browser, at
         <A HREF = "http://genome-euro.ucsc.edu" TARGET = _BLANK>
         http://genome-euro.ucsc.edu</A>. The server is physically
         located at the Universit&auml;t Bielefeld Center for
         Biotechnology in Bielefeld, Germany, and is administered
         by UCSC. Genome-euro is meant to be an alternate, faster
         access point for those Browser users who are geographically
         closer to central Europe than to the western United States.
         </p>
         <p>
         All functionality will be the same as on the US server,
         although Custom Tracks will not be transfered. Saved Sessions
         containing Custom Tracks will require some manual <A HREF =
         "http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/genomeEuro.html#sessions"
         TARGET = _BLANK>intervention</A>.
         </p>
         <p>
         When European users navigate to the US server home page
         and click the "Genomes" menu item, they will receive a
         notification that they have been
         redirected to the more geographically-appropriate server.
         They will have the option to remain on the US server, as
         described in our
         <A HREF = "http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/genomeEuro.html"
         TARGET = _BLANK>documentation</A>.
         </p>
         <p>
         The backup mirror in <A HREF = "http://genome-mirror.moma.ki.au.dk/"
         TARGET = _BLANK>Aarhus, Denmark</A> will continue to serve as an
         emergency site in the event of the official sites in California
         and Germany malfunctioning.
         </p>
         <p>
         We wish to express our special thanks to our colleagues at the
         Universit&auml;t Bielefeld Bioinformatics, especially Jens Stoye,
         for making this possible.
         </p>
