+<h2>Jul. 19, 2019 &nbsp;&nbsp; New GENCODE V31 gene tracks for human, hg19 and hg38</h2>
+<p>
+We are pleased to announce the release of the new GENCODE Gene annotation tracks, which corresponds
+to the <a href="http://www.ensembl.info/2019/05/20/whats-coming-in-ensembl-97-ensembl-genomes-44/"
+target="_blank">Ensembl 97 release</a> for human assemblies, <a target="_blank"
+href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeGencodeV31lift37">hg19/GRCh37</a> and
+<a target="_blank" href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&g=wgEncodeGencodeV31">hg38/GRCh38</a>.
+All GENCODE V31 annotations are available for hg38/GRCh38, and the annotation release was
+back-mapped to the hg19/GRCh37 assembly. For both hg19 and hg38, the GENCODE v31 gene set contains
+the following tracks:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Basic - a subset of the <em>Comprehensive set</em>.</li>
+  <li>Comprehensive - all GENCODE coding and non-coding transcript annotations, including
+      polymorphic pseudogenes. This includes both manual and automatic annotations.</li>
+  <li>Pseudogenes - all annotations except polymorphic pseudogenes.</li></ul>
+<p>
+The hg38 assembly also includes the following tracks that are not available on hg19:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>2-way Pseudogenes - pseudogenes predicted by both the Yale Pseudopipe and UCSC
+      Retrofinder pipelines.</li>
+  <li>PolyA - polyA signals and sites manually annotated on the genome based on transcribed
+      evidence (ESTs and cDNAs) of 3' end of transcripts containing at least 3 A's not matching the
+      genome.</li></ul>
+<p>Thanks to Mark Diekhans and Jairo Navarro for the development and release of these tracks.</p>

 <h2>Jul. 17, 2019 &nbsp;&nbsp; New GENCODE gene set tracks available for mouse (VM22)</h2>
 <p>We are happy to announce the release of the most up-to-date GENCODE M22 gene set for the
 mouse genome (mm10/GRCm38).</p>
 <p>
 The GENCODE Genes track (version M22, June 2019) shows high-quality manual annotations merged with
 evidence-based automated annotations across the entire mouse genome.
 This track includes 5 subtracks: a basic gene set, a comprehensive
 gene set, a pseudogene set, a high confidence pseudogene set, and a set of polyA site 
 locations. You can read more about the VM22 by navigating there from the 
 <a href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=mm10&g=wgEncodeGencodeSuper">All GENCODE supertrack
 </a> or by going directly to the 
 <a href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=mm10&g=wgEncodeGencodeVM22">track description page</a>.
 
 <p>Thanks to Mark Diekhans and Daniel Schmelter for their work developing and releasing this track.
