+        New UCSC Genes Track Released for GRCm38/mm10</b></font>
+        <p>
+        We're happy to announce the release of an updated UCSC Genes track for the GRCm38/mm10
+        mouse Genome Browser.  The new release has 61,642 total transcripts, compared with 59,121
+        in the previous version.  The total number of canonical genes has increased from 31,469
+        to 32,408.  Comparing the new gene set with the previous version:
+        <ul>
+          <li>54,714 transcripts did not change between versions.</li>
+          <li>19 transcripts were not carried forward to the new version.</li>
+          <li>3,866 transcripts are &quot;compatible&quot; 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>
+          <li>522 transcripts overlap with those in the previous set, but do not show consistent
+              splicing (i.e., they contain overlapping introns with differing splice sites).</li>
+        </ul>
+        </p>

 	<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/assembly/grc/" 
 	target="_blank">Genome Reference Consortium</a> (GRC) released the eagerly awaited GRCh38 
 	human genome assembly, the first major revision of the human genome in more than four 
 	years. During the past two months, the UCSC team has been 
 	hard at work building a browser that will let our users explore the new
 	assembly using their favorite Genome Browser features and tools. 
 	Today we're announcing the release of a preliminary browser on the GRCh38
 	assembly. Although we still have plenty of work ahead of us in constructing the rich
 	feature set that our users have come to expect, this early release will allow you to
 	take a peek at what's new.

 	We'd like to thank our GRC and NCBI collaborators who worked closely with
 	us in producing the hg38 browser. Their quick responses and helpful feedback were a
 	key factor in expediting this release. The production of the hg38 Genome Browser was
 	a team effort, but in particular we'd like to acknowledge the engineering efforts of Hiram 
 	Clawson and Brian Raney, the QA work done by Steve Heitner, project guidance
 	provided by Ann Zweig, Robert Kuhn, and Jim Kent, and documentation work by Donna
 	Karolchik.
