 <h2>Looking for a genome assembly?</h2>
 <p>
 When looking for a specific assembly, the best place to start is the <a 
 href="/cgi-bin/hgGateway">Gateway page</a>. If you begin to type the common species name or
 NCBI accession number in the 
 search box on the left side of the screen, the text will autocomplete if any matches are found. 
 This search will also match any <a href="/goldenPath/help/hgTrackHubHelp.html#Assembly">
 assembly hubs</a> that are also <a href="/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect">Public Hubs</a>.</p>
 
 <p>
 If there is no match for the assembly on the gateway page, you may search our
+<a href="../goldenPath/newsarch.html#060121">GenArk</a> (Genome Archive)
 <a href="https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/hubs/">archive of assembly hubs</a>. These include
-a large number of NCBI assemblies, as well as Vertebrate Genomes Project assemblies. Note that
+a large number of NCBI assemblies, as well as Vertebrate Genomes Project assemblies. Many
+can be loaded with direct links such as
+<a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/h/GCF_001984765.1">http://genome.ucsc.edu/h/GCF_001984765.1</a>
+when the <b>GCF</b> accession is known.  Note that
 many of these are also Public Hubs, and will show up on a <a 
 href="/cgi-bin/hgGateway">Gateway page</a> search.</p>
 
 <p>
 If the assembly of interest is not found in either location, you may write in to our mailing
 list 
 (<a href="mailto:&#103;&#101;n&#111;m&#101;&#64;&#115;&#111;&#101;.&#117;&#99;s&#99;.&#101;d&#117;">&#103;&#101;n&#111;m&#101;&#64;&#115;&#111;&#101;.&#117;&#99;s&#99;.&#101;d&#117;</a>) 
 including the <a target="_blank" 
 href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly">NCBI Genbank assembly accession</a> for the requested 
 assembly in the message. These will start
 with either <b>GCA_</b> or <b>GCF_</b>. Our agreement with the genomics community is 
 that we wait until the assembly has been deposited 
 into Genbank at NCBI before we process it. See the <a target="_blank" 
 href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/docs/submission/">
 Assembly Submission Guidelines page</a> at NCBI for directions on their submission process.</p>
