 <h2>Downloading sequence and annotation data</h2>
 <h6>How do I obtain the sequence and/or annotation data for a release?</h6>
 <p> 
 Sequence and annotation data downloads are usually made available within the first week of the 
 release of a new assembly. The download directories are automatically updated nightly to 
 incorporate additions and modifications to the data.</p> 
 <p>
 You can download sequence and annotation data <a href="../goldenPath/help/ftp.html">using our FTP 
 server</a>, but we recommend using rsync, which has the advantage of starting up where it left off

+<h2>GenArk Downloads</h2>
+<h6>How do I download GenArk assembly hub data for my species?</h6>
+<p>
+For 2000+ GenArk genomes, we visualize them in assembly hubs instead of native 
+assemblies like hg38 and mm39. These Genome Browsers can be accessed from our 
+<a href="../cgi-bin/hgGateway">Genomes page</a> by searching common name or GCA/GCF
+number. You can also access the browsers for these species directly with links in the
+following format:</p>
+<pre><a href="https://genome.ucsc.edu/h/GCF_000951035.1">https://genome.ucsc.edu/h/GCF_000951035.1</a></pre>
+<p>
+The downloads data for these assemblies is stored in a different location
+than our goldenPath, SQL, or gbdb file directories. There are two ways to access 
+this data for download. First, you can go to the 
+<a href="https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/hubs">GenArk page</a>
+and select your clade (primates, mammals, birds, etc.) and then
+you will be brought to a page with a table of species and 
+GCA/GCF assembly identifiers. Find your genome and click on the third column, 
+labeled "Scientific name and data download", which will take you to the download 
+directory for that species. 
+</p><p>
+Alternatively, you can enter your GCA/GCF identifier 
+in the URL in groups of three characters, seperated by slashes. For example, the 
+identifier "GCA_004027835.1" has data in the following directory:
+<pre>https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/hubs/GCA/004/027/835/</pre>
