   Output from Related Tables Now Available in the Data Integrator</b></font>
   <p>
   In the UCSC Genome Browser database, detailed information on the annotations for many tracks
   is stored in extra tables. This information can include things such as identifiers
   in other databases, transcript status, or other descriptive information. You can now obtain
   data from these related tables in your output from the
   <a href="cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a>.
   </p>
 
   <p>
   To add related tables to your Data Integrator output, first, select and add at least one
   track to your data sources. Then, scroll down to the "Output Options" section and click the
   <button type="button">Choose fields</button> button.
   Lastly, at the bottom the section for each selected track, you will see a drop-down menu
   labeled "Related tables" which allows you to select and add various tables to your output.

-  Data from 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3 Now Available</b></font>
-  <p>
-  We have made data from Phase 3 of the
-  <a href="http://www.1000genomes.org/" target="_blank">1000 Genomes Project</a>
-  available for the hg19 version of the human assembly.
-  The data includes almost 90 million variants in the form of single nucleotide variants (SNVs),
-  insertions/deletions (InDels), and structural variants (SVs). Each variant includes a
-  detail page that incorporates links to the variant in the dbSNP database, quality scores,
-  and allele frequency information for various populations. More information is available
-  on the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=tgpPhase3">track description page</a>.
-  </p>
 
-  <p>
-  In addition to variant calls, the data includes two tracks that highlight regions of the
-  genome that are accessible to next generation sequencing technologies that utilize
-  paired-end reads. One track contains regions that meet the  1000 Genomes Project
-  &quot;pilot&quot; criteria while the other contains regions that meet a more
-  &quot;strict&quot; set of guidelines. More information about how these accessible regions
-  were identified can be found on the
-  <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=tgpPhase3Accessibility">track description page</a>.

-  Thank you to the 1000 Genomes Project and Tom Blackwell and Mary Kate Wing at the
-  University of Michigan for making these data available. Thank you to Angie Hinrichs
-  and Matthew Speir at UCSC for their work on these tracks.

-  For example, when browsing hg38 and zoomed in on the start of a gene like ABO at
-  <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg38%26position=chr9%3A133255000-133255555"
-  target="_blank">chr9:133,255,000-133,255,555</a>, 
-  click the View menu and select &quot;In External Tools&quot;,
-  or simply type the keyboard shortcut &quot;s&quot; then &quot;t&quot;,
-  to send the region to a list of different prediction tools.</p>
-  <p>
-  Some of the available tools (not available for all assemblies or all zoom levels)
-  are primer design and restriction enzyme predictions (Primer3Plus, Primer-BLAST,
-  NEBCutter), mRNA and protein predictions (RegRNA 2, Riboswitches, RNAfold, PFAM),
-  cis-regulatory predictions (Promoter 2, RSAT Metazoa), and CRISPR/Cas9 predictions
-  (CRISPOR, CHOPCHOP), as well as links to view the region at NCBI or Ensembl.
-  You can suggest other tools via our
-  <a href="/cgi-bin/hgUserSuggestion">Suggestion Box</a>.</p>
