+ <h2>Aug. 04, 2021 &nbsp;&nbsp; Addition of GRCm38 patch 6 sequences to mm10</h2>
+ <p>
+ We are pleased to announce the addition of GRCm38 patch release 6 to the mm10 assembly. mm10 has
+ been updated with patches since its release in 2012. The GRC patch releases do not change any
+ previously existing sequences; they simply add new sequences for fix patches or alternate haplotypes
+ that correspond to specific regions of the main chromosome sequences. For most users, the patches
+ are unlikely to make a difference and may complicate the analysis as they introduce more
+ duplication.</p>
+ 
+ <p>
+ More information on how patch sequences are incorporated can be found on the
+ <a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/blog/patches/" target="_blank">Patching up the Genome</a> blog post.
+ The blog post contains details about the new
+ <a href="https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm10/bigZips/latest/"
+ target="_blank">/latest</a>,
+ <a href="https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm10/bigZips/initial/"
+ target="_blank">/initial</a>, and
+ <a href="https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm10/bigZips/p6/" target="_blank">/p6</a>
+ download directories on the downloads server. With the addition of new sequences to mm10, we can
+ expect to see BLAT return more matches to the genome.</p>
+ 
+ <ul>
+   <li>
+     The <b>initial/</b> subdirectory contains files for the initial release of GRCm38, which has 66
+     sequences, no original alternate sequences, and no fix sequences. It is the same as the
+     parent download directory. This is probably the best genome file for aligners and most analysis
+     tasks, a version called &quot;analysisSet&quot; for the human genome.
+   </li>
+   <li>
+     The <b>p6/</b> subdirectory contains files for GRCm38.p6 (patch release 6). It has 239 sequences
+     including alternate and fix sequences. Note that these patches include
+     &quot;strain-specific&quot; sequences. You may want to check with the authors of your aligner if
+     the software can recognize these sequences.
+   </li>
+   <li>
+     The <b>latest/</b> symbolic link points to the subdirectory for the most recent patch version.
+   </li>
+ </ul>
+ 
+ <p>
+ We would like to thank the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/grc" target="_blank">Genome
+ Research Consortium</a> for creating the patches for mm10. We would also like to thank Galt Barber
+ and Jairo Navarro at UCSC for implementing and testing the latest patch to the mm10 genome.</p>

  <h2>July 20, 2021 &nbsp;&nbsp; Updated GENCODE tracks released for hg38, hg19, and mm39</h2>
  <p>
  We have updated our GENCODE gene datasets to the latest releases; v38 
  for human (hg38 &amp; hg19) and v27 for the mouse genome assembly (mm39). 
  These new annotation data were released by GENCODE in May 2021 
  and correspond to the Ensembl Genes 104 dataset. 
  </p>
  <p>
  These tracks can be found in our All GENCODE super-track folder, 
  with subset tracks and abundant filter options. This super-track
  contains many previous versions of the GENCODE genes for easy 
  comparison. From the 
 -<a href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/human/stats.html">
 +<a target="_blank" href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/human/stats.html">
  GENCODE stats page</a>,
  this updated dataset has approximately 60.6k genes and 237k transcripts on 
  the human hg38 assembly.</p>

  you can visit the following track description pages:</p>
