+  <p>
+  The UCSC Genome Browser team is proud to announce that we will soon release
+  a newly designed Gateway, which will be live on the public site Tuesday afternoon
+  (PDT), May 10th, 2016. Another announcement will be shared Tuesday with further
+  details and a demonstration video.</p>
+  <p>
+  While the main functionality remains unchanged as a gateway to all available genome
+  browsers, several helpful new features have been added:</p>
+  <li>Autocomplete search for any genome browser, genome version, or public assembly hub
+  <li>Browse available genome browser species by scrolling through a  menu based on phylogenetic order 
+  <li>Quick access shortcuts to popular browsers
+  <li>A new style and color scheme
+  <p>

   - Data from the Lens PatSeq Database Now Available</b></font>
   <p>
   We are pleased to announce the release of a set of tracks showing the genomic mapping of
   biomedical sequences submitted as part of patent application documents worldwide. The sequence 
   data, mappings and associated patent information were obtained from the 
   <a href="https://www.lens.org/lens/bio" target="_blank">PatSeq</a> database provided by 
   <a href="https://www.lens.org/" target="_blank">The Lens</a>. The PatSeq data are 
   mapped to the genome, and the individual sequence features within the tracks are then
   color-coded to indicate their status within the associated patent documents. 
   Track details pages show information about the patent documents in which the sequences
   are referenced, and provide a link to The Lens PatSeq Analyzer tool for the given chromosome 
   range. The PatSeq data are divided into two tracks: a bulk patent track for sequences affiliated 
   with patents in which more than 100 sequences were submitted, and a non-bulk patent track
   for all other sequences. These tracks are currently present on the human (hg19), mouse (mm10),
