+<h2>Data access</h2>
+<p>
+Ensembl Gene data can be explored interactively using the
+<a href="../goldenPath/help/api.html" target="_blank">REST API</a>, the
+<a href="/cgi-bin/hgTables" target="_blank">Table Browser</a> or the
+<a href="/cgi-bin/hgIntegrator" target="_blank">Data Integrator</a>.
+The genePred format files for $db are available in our
+<a target="_blank" href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/$db/database/">
+downloads directory</a> as ensGene.txt.gz or in our
+<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/$db/bigZips/genes">
+gene file download directory</a> in GTF format.
+All the tables can also be queried directly from our public MySQL
+servers, with instructions on this method available on our
+<a target="_blank" href="/goldenPath/help/mysql.html">MySQL help page</a> and on
+<a target="_blank" href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/blog/tag/mysql/">our blog</a>.</p>
