         bigGenePred Format Now Supported in the Genome Browser</b></font>
         <p>
 	We are pleased to announce that the UCSC Genome Browser now supports data in 
 	bigGenePred format. bigGenePred format stores annotation items that are a linked collection 
 	of exons, much as BED files do, but bigGenePred has additional information 
 	about the coding frames and other gene specific information. bigGenePred files are created initially 
 	from BED-type files with some extra fields, using the program bedToBigBed with a special 
 	AutoSQL file that defines the fields of the bigGenePred. The resulting bigBed files are in an 
 	indexed binary format. The advantage of these bigBed files is that only portions of the files 
 	needed to display a particular region are transferred to UCSC. So for large data sets, 
 	bigBed is considerably faster than regular BED files.
 	<p>
 	This new format is available for use in custom tracks and data hubs. For more information 
 	about bigGenePred, please see our 
 	<a href="/goldenPath/help/bigGenePred.html">bigGenePred Track Format help page</a>.

 	New Tarsier (tarSyr2) Assembly Now Available in the Genome Browser</b></font>
 	<p>
 	We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the September 2013
 	assembly of tarsier, <em>Tarsius syrichta</em> (WashU Tarsius_syrichta-2.0.1,
 	UCSC version tarSyr2). The whole genome shotgun assembly was provided by
 	<a href="http://genome.wustl.edu/genomes/detail/tarsius-syrichta/"
 	target="_blank">Washington University</a>.
 	There are 337,189 scaffolds with a total size of 3,453,864,774 bases.
 	</p>   
 	<p>
 	Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome
 	Browser
 	<a href="ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/tarSyr2/">FTP server</a>
 	or the
 	<a href="http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#tarsier">Downloads</a>
 	page. These data have
 	<a href="/goldenPath/credits.html#tarsier_credits">specific conditions for use</a>.
 	The tarsier (tarSyr2) browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and
 	collaborators worldwide. See the
 	<a href="/goldenPath/credits.html#tarsier_credits">Credits</a> page for a detailed
 	list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.
