 	Conservation Track Released for Rat</b>
         </font>

 	<p>
 	We are pleased to announce the release of a new Conservation track based on the rat (RGSC 5.0/rn5) assembly.
 	This track shows multiple alignments of 13 vertebrate species and measurements of evolutionary
 	conservation using two methods (phastCons and phyloP) from the PHAST package for all species. The
 	multiple alignments were generated using multiz and other tools in the UCSC/Penn State Bioinformatics
 	comparative genomics alignment pipeline. Conserved elements identified by phastCons are also displayed
 	in this track. For more details, visit the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=rn5&g=cons13way">
 	track description page</a>.
 	</p>
 
 	<p>
 	With the release of this new conservation track for the rat (RGSC 5.0/rn5) assembly, we have changed the
-	default rat browser on our website from rn4 to rn5. In general, if you are currently using the rn5 (or
-	older) browser, the Genome Browser will continue to display that assembly for you when you start it up.
-	However, there are circumstances in which the assembly may switch to the newer version (for instance, if
-	you reset your browser to the defaults). If you find yourself in a situation where some of your favorite
-	browser tracks have "disappeared", you may want to check that you're viewing the right assembly.

 	We are pleased to announce the release of the new Exome Variant Server (EVS) Variants track. The
 	<a href="http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/" target="_blank">EVS</a>, maintained by the
 	<a href="http://chum.gs.washington.edu/" target="_blank">Nickerson lab</a> at the University of
 	Washington, contains variant annotations for over 6,500 exomes that were sequenced as part of the
 	<a href="https://esp.gs.washington.edu/drupal/" target="_blank">NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project</a>
 	(ESP). This annotation includes information such as function, clinical association, dbSNP rsID,
 	average sample read depth, and much more. You can find more information on how the data for this
 	track was generated on the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=evsEsp6500"
 	>track description page</a>.

 	We would like to acknowledge Tim Dreszer and Matthew Speir for their hard work in creating this track.
