+<h2>Jan. 13, 2020 &nbsp;&nbsp; New GENCODE gene tracks: Human V35/V36 (hg19/hg38)</h2>
+<p>
+We are pleased to announce new GENCODE Gene annotation tracks, which correspond
+to <a href="http://www.ensembl.info/2020/08/20/ensembl-101-has-been-released/"
+target="_blank">Ensembl 101</a> and <a target="_blank"
+href="https://www.ensembl.info/2020/11/30/ensembl-102-has-been-released/">Ensembl 102</a>,
+for the <a target="_blank" 
+href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&c=chr21&g=wgEncodeGencodeV36lift37">hg19/GRCh37</a> and
+<a target="_blank" href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38c=chr1&g=wgEncodeGencodeSuper">hg38/GRCh38</a>
+human assemblies. The annotations were mapped to hg38 and then back-mapped
+to the hg19 assembly. All gene sets contain 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 annotations also include the following tracks 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>
+Details on each release can be found on the <a target="_blank" 
+href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/">GENCODE site</a>. This includes <a target="_blank" 
+href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/human/stats.html">statistics on each release</a>.
+<p>We would like to thank the <a target="_blank" 
+href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/pages/gencode.html">GENCODE project</a> for providing these
+annotations. We would also like to thank Mark Diekhans and Lou Nassar for the development and
+release of these data.</p>

 <h2>Jan. 8, 2020 &nbsp;&nbsp; January 8th SARS-CoV-2 update</h2>
 <p>
 We are pleased to start the year with our fifth data release for the <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=wuhCor1" 
 target="_blank">coronavirus genome browser</a>. (See also our <a
 href="#040320">first</a>, <a href="#050420">second</a>, <a href="#080720">third</a>,
 and <a href="#102120">fourth</a> releases)</p>
 
 <p>
 This update includes an updated track as well as three new tracks for 
 the <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=wuhCor1" 
 target="_blank">coronavirus genome browser</a>, and a track for the <a 
 href="/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19" target="_blank">hg19/GRCh37</a> and <a
 href="/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg38" target="_blank">hg38/GRCh38</a> human assemblies. Worth note is
