+        <p>
+	We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived from dbSNP build 138, 
+	available on the human assembly (GRCh37/hg19). dbSNP build 138 is available at NCBI. 
+	The new tracks contain additional annotation data not included in previous dbSNP 
+	tracks, with corresponding coloring and filtering options in the Genome Browser.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	As for dbSNP build 138, there are four tracks in this release. One is a track 
+	containing all mappings of reference SNPs to the human assembly, labeled 
+	"All SNPs (138)". The other three tracks are subsets of this track and show 
+	interesting and easily defined subsets of dbSNP:
+	</p>
+	<ul>
+	<li>Common SNPs (138): uniquely mapped variants that appear in at least 1% 
+	of the population or are 100% non-reference
+	<li>Flagged SNPs (138): uniquely mapped variants, excluding Common SNPs, 
+	that have been flagged by dbSNP as "clinically associated"
+	<li>Mult. SNPs (138): variants that have been mapped to more than one genomic location
+	</ul>
+	<p>
+	By default, only the Common SNPs (138) are visible; other tracks must be 
+	made visible using the track controls.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	You will find the four SNPs (138) tracks on the Human Feb. 2009 (GRCh37/hg19) 
+	browser in the "Variation and Repeats" group.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	The tracks were produced at UCSC by Angie Hinrichs and Luvina Guruvadoo.

         Updated DGV Structural Variation Track</b></font>
         <p>
         The UCSC Genome Browser is pleased to announce an updated DGV Structural Variation
         track to reflect the official launch of the new  <a href="http://dgv.tcag.ca/dgv/app/home"
         target="_blank">Database of Genomic Variants</a>. The new release includes a number of
         updates and corrections and completes DGV's transition from their Beta version as
         they retire their original site for the new and improved site. For more background on
         DGV's changes, please see DGV's <a href="http://dgv.tcag.ca/dgv/app/news"
