+<h2>May 26, 2020 &nbsp;&nbsp; NCBI RefSeq assembly hubs </h2>
+<p>
+We are pleased to announce new NCBI RefSeq assembly hubs for vertebrate genomes. Currently these
+hubs contain 295 assemblies, encompassing most RefSeq vertebrate genomes.</p> 
+<p>
+All assemblies contain multiple gene models including NCBI RefSeq annotations, and Ensembl gene
+predictions where available. Additional tracks include repeat masking and simple repeat data.
+A complete list of available tracks for each assembly can be found in the respective track
+statistics page.</p>
+<p>
+The assemblies are divided into 5 categories, see the assembly statistics link below for a 
+complete list of available genomes in each hub. Assembly statistics such as genome size, 
+gaps, and masking are also available for each genome. Lastly, track statistics are also available
+displaying all available tracks for each assembly, as well as their genomic coverage.</p><br>

 Select transcripts that have a 100% identical match to a transcript in the 
 Ensembl annotation are given the MANE Select designation. In this way, MANE Select 
 is a subset of RefSeq Select. It should be noted, however, that there are 
 cases where RefSeq Select transcripts are replaced when a different MANE Select 
 transcript is chosen. Once the MANE project is complete, RefSeq Select and MANE 
 Select for human should be nearly the same.</p>

 <p>
 We are pleased to announce new GENCODE Gene annotation tracks, which correspond
 to <a href="http://www.ensembl.info/2019/10/17/whats-coming-up-in-ensembl-release-99/"
 target="_blank">Ensembl 99</a>, for three assemblies: <a target="_blank"

 and <a target="_blank" href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=mm10&c=chr12&g=wgEncodeGencodeVM24">mm10/GRCm38</a>.
 For human, the GENCODE V33 annotations were mapped to hg38/GRCh38 and then back-mapped 
 to the hg19/GRCh37 assembly. For all three assemblies, the gene sets contain the following 
 tracks:</p>
