+        New UCSC Gene Track Released for GRCh38/hg38</b>
+        </font>
+        <p>
+	We're happy to announce the release of a new UCSC Genes track for the 
+	GRCh38/hg38 human Genome Browser.
+	The new release has 104,178 transcripts, compared with 82,960 in the previous 
+	version on hg19. The total number of canonical genes has increased from 
+	31,848 to 48,424. Comparing the new gene set with the previous version:
+	</p>
+
+	<ul>
+        <li>69,691 transcripts did not change between versions.</li>
+        <li>619 transcripts were not carried forward to the new version.</li>
+        <li>8,879 transcripts are "compatible" with those in the previous set, 
+	meaning that the two transcripts show consistent splicing.</li>
+        <li>3,393 transcripts overlap with those in the previous set.</li>
+	</ul>
+	
+	<p>
+    	More details about the new UCSC Genes track can be found on the
+	<a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&g=knownGene" 
+	>UCSC Genes track description page</a>.
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+    	Many thanks to Brian Raney, Jim Kent, and Luvina Guruvadoo 
+	for their work on this track!
