+<h1>Introduction to the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser</h1>
+<p>
+The UCSC Genome Browser is an open-source, interactive sequence visualization tool that 
+has been a cornerstone of genomics for more than 20 years; cited in more than 37,000 
+scientific articles. It allows for cross referencing of research, clinical, 
+and epidemiology data against the SARS-CoV-2 reference genome. </p>
+
+<p>
+This guide will go through some of the most important use cases of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Browser. 
+For those who prefer a video explanation, we have</p>

+<h2>Orientation and Navigation</h2>
+<p>
+With more than 80 total datasets across the SARS-CoV-2 reference genome's nearly 30,000 RNA
+bases, navigation is essential to finding the information you want to see. Below is an example
+view of the Genome Browser with labeled sections highlighting the navigation, reference sequence, 
+annotations, and additional available track datasets below.
