Here at the UCSC Genome Browser, we have also been directing some work towards that front and will continue to do so.</p> <p> This has brought new users to our site who may have previously been unfamiliar with this resource. The Genome Browser aims to facilitate genome research by offering data visualization, genome annotations, and other tools. We encourage anyone who would like to learn more to see our <a target="_blank" href="help/hgTracksHelp.html#GetStarted">user guide</a>.</p> <p> With this in mind, we would like to announce a new <a target="_blank" href="/covid19.html">COVID-19 Resources at UCSC</a>
