+
+<p>
+This update includes an updated track as well as three new tracks for

 <h2>Dec. 23, 2020 &nbsp;&nbsp; New ClinVar Interpretations track for human (hg19/hg38)</h2>
 <p>
 We are pleased to release a new track, <b>ClinVar Interpretations</b>, for the hg19/GRCh37 and 
 hg38/GRCh38 human assemblies. This track can be found as part of the <a target="_blank"

 <p>
 The <b>ClinVar Interpretations track</b> displays the genomic positions of individual variant 
 submissions and interpretations of the clinical significance, as well as their relationship 
 to disease in the ClinVar database. As seen on the image below, the variants are classified into
