   <font face="courier" size="3"><b>11 February 2015 - dbSNP 142 Available for hg19 and hg38</b></font>
         <p>
         We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived from NCBI
         <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/" target="_blank">dbSNP</a> Build 142
         data, available on the two most recent human assemblies GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38.
         The new tracks contain a substantial amount of additional annotation data not 
         included in previous dbSNP tracks, with corresponding coloring and filtering options 
         in the Genome Browser.
         </p>
         <p>
         There are four SNP tracks available as part of this release. One is a track
         containing all mappings of reference SNPs to the human assembly, labeled
         "All SNPs (142)". The other three tracks are subsets of this track and show
         interesting and easily defined subsets of dbSNP:
         </p>
         <ul>
         <li>Common SNPs (142): uniquely mapped variants that appear in at least 1%
         of the population or are 100% non-reference
         <li>Flagged SNPs (142): uniquely mapped variants, excluding Common SNPs,
         that have been flagged by dbSNP as "clinically associated"
         <li>Mult. SNPs (142): variants that have been mapped to more than one genomic location
         </ul>
         <p>
         By default, only the Common SNPs (142) are visible; other tracks must be
         made visible using the track controls. You will find the other SNPs (142) tracks on
         both of GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38 browsers in the "Variation" group.
         </p>
         <p>
         The tracks were produced at UCSC by Angie Hinrichs and Jonathan Casper. We'd like
         to thank the dbSNP group at NCBI for providing access to these data.
         </p>
+        <p>
+        As part of this release, we are also retiring the older dbSNP Build 135 and 137
+        data from display on the GRCh37/hg19 human assembly.  Those tracks will still be
+        available for viewing on our
+        <a href="http://genome-preview.soe.ucsc.edu" target="_blank">preview server</a>,
+        and the associated masked FASTA files will continue to be available on our
+        <a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu" target="_blank">download server</a>.

 	Proteomics Data Now Available in Genome Browser</b></font>
 	<p>
 	We are pleased to announce the release of proteomics data for the 
 	human hg19 assembly. Data from the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) 
 	<a href="http://proteomics.cancer.gov/programs/cptacnetwork" target="_blank">
 	Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC)</a> is now available 
 	in the UCSC Genome Browser as a public track hub. This track hub
 	contains peptides that were identified by CPTAC in their deep mass
 	spectrometry based characterization of the proteome content of
 	breast, colorectal and ovarian cancer biospecimens that were initially
 	sequenced by <a href="http://cancergenome.nih.gov/" target="_blank">
 	The Cancer Genome Atlas</a>. This effort extends the
 	accessibility of CPTAC data to more researchers and provides an
 	additional level of analysis to assist the cancer biology community.
 	<p>
 	To access and view this hub, navigate to the
 	<a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect" target="_blank">
 	Track Hub gateway page</a> and select &quot;CPTAC Hub v1&quot; from the Public Hubs list.
 	Please direct any queries to the Fenyo Lab at <a href="mailto:info@fenyolab.org">info@fenyolab.org</a>.
 	<p>
 	In addition, we have also released a <a href="http://www.peptideatlas.org/" target="_blank">
 	PeptideAtlas</a> track which displays peptide identifications from the
 	<a href="https://db.systemsbiology.net/sbeams/cgi/PeptideAtlas/buildDetails?atlas_build_id=433" target="_blank">
 	PeptideAtlas August 2014 (Build 433) Human build</a>. This build, based on 971 samples containing more than 420
 	million spectra, identified over a million distinct peptides covering
 	more than 15,000 canonical proteins. To read more about this track,
 	please see the <a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=peptideAtlas" target="_blank">
 	track description page</a>. Many thanks to Eric Deutsch,
 	Zhi Sun, and the PeptideAtlas team at the Institute for Systems Biology,
 	Seattle for providing this data.
