-        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>.
