-        We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the August 2008
-        assembly of shrew, <em>Sorex araneus</em> (Broad SorAra2.0, UCSC version
-        sorAra2). The whole genome shotgun assembly was provided by
-        <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/"

-        There are 12,845 scaffolds with a total size of 2,423,158,183 bases.
+	We are excited to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the July 2014 assembly
+	of rat, <em>Rattus norvegicus</em> (RGSC Rnor_6.0, UCSC version rn6)! This

+	eight research organizations across the United States and Canada and led by the
+	<a href="https://www.hgsc.bcm.edu/" target="_blank">Baylor College of Medicine</a>.
+	The new RGSC Rnor_6.0 assembly contains a new, partially assembled Y chromosome
+	as well as improvements to other regions of the genome. You can find more information
+	on the RGSC's efforts to sequence rat genome on the Baylor College of Medicine's
