+<a href="https://genome-blog.soe.ucsc.edu/blog/2022/04/12/genark-hubs-part-4/"
+target="_blank">GenArk Hubs Part 4 - New assembly request page</a> describes how to use this new
+feature.</p>
+<p>
+With the realization that we could not possibly host every single genomic assembly available,
+we created <a href="help/hgTrackHubHelp.html#Assembly">Assembly Hubs</a>. Assembly Hubs allow
+anyone to host and view the genome of any species in the context of the UCSC Genome Browser.
+Last summer we <a href="newsarch.html#060121">announced</a> the creation of the Genome Archive
+(GenArk) which included Assembly Hubs for the genomic assemblies of more than 1,300 species.
+Since then, we have taken this a step further by creating this new <a href="/assemblyRequest.html"
+target="_blank">Assembly Request</a> page that displays about 14,000 assemblies: those that
+are available for viewing and those that can be requested. We currently have nearly 1,700 assembly
+hubs available for viewing at the click of a button. If you don't see the organism or assembly you
+are interested in then please use the page to request it. We will build an Assembly Hub for you
+and let you know when it is available for viewing.</p>

 <h2>May 11, 2022 &nbsp;&nbsp; New GENCODE gene tracks: Human V40 (hg19/hg38) - Mouse M29
 (mm39)</h2>
 <p>
 We are pleased to announce new GENCODE Gene annotation tracks, which correspond
 to <a href="https://www.ensembl.info/2022/04/12/ensembl-106-has-been-released/"
 target="_blank">Ensembl 106</a>, for three assemblies: <a target="_blank"
 href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&c=chr21&g=wgEncodeGencodeV40lift37">hg19/GRCh37</a>,
 <a target="_blank" href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&c=chr1&g=wgEncodeGencodeV40">hg38/GRCh38</a>,
 and <a target="_blank" href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=mm39&c=chr12&g=wgEncodeGencodeVM29">mm39/GRCm39</a>.
 For human, the GENCODE V40 annotations were mapped to hg38/GRCh38 and then back-mapped
 to the hg19/GRCh37 assembly. For all three assemblies, the gene sets contain the following
 tracks:</p>
 <ul>
   <li>Basic - a subset of the <em>Comprehensive set</em>.</li>
