+  New keyboard shortcuts on the Genome Browser!</b></font>
+  <p>
+  We are excited to announce the addition of keyboard shortcuts to navigate 
+  the Genome Browser display! It's now possible to zoom in and out, navigate left 
+  and right, hide all tracks, configure the browser display and much more using 
+  only your keyboard. Use the "?" key to view the entire list of shortcuts. 
+  Happy browsing!

   Human Genome Browser default changed to GRCh38/hg38 </b></font>
   </p>
   <p>
   In conjunction with the release of the new 100-species Conservation track on the 
   hg38/GRCh38 human assembly, we have now changed the default human browser on our 
   website from hg19 to hg38. This should not affect your current browsing sessions; 
   if you were last looking at the hg19 (or older) browser, the Genome Browser will 
   continue to display that assembly for you when you start it up. There are circumstances, 
   however, in which the selected assembly can switch to the newer version. For instance, 
   the assembly will switch to hg38 if you reset your browser defaults. If you find 
   yourself in a situation where some of your favorite browser tracks have &quot;disappeared&quot;, 
   you may want to check that you're viewing the right assembly.
