+<h2>Oct. 24, 2022 &nbsp;&nbsp; Two new data tracks on human: HGNC and PanelApp</h2>
+<p>
+The UCSC Genome Browser team is happy to announce two new fantastic data tracks 
+on the human reference genomes, hg19 and hg38. We hope these additions will 
+improve disease diagnostic capacity and harmonize different gene naming systems.
+</p><p>
+The PanelApp track is a Phenotype and Literature track from <a 
+href="https://panelapp.genomicsengland.co.uk" target="_blank">Genomics England</a>
+which shows expert, crowdsourced diagnostic disease panels among genes, 
+copy-number variants (CNV), and short tandem repeats (STR). This collection 
+of nearly 50,000 associations includes a confidence level color-score,
+detailed mouseover, inheritance patterns, and links to the primary data 
+source. We are proud to say that this evolving resource will be kept 
+up-to-date with automatic weekly data updates. This is a much-requested 
+data track and we hope it sees some attention!
+</p><p>
+The HGNC track is a Genes track from the <a href="https://www.genenames.org/" 
+target="_blank">Hugo Gene Nomenclature Committee</a>, 
+the official source for gene names. This searchable track is a unifier 
+of different identifiers for the same gene, with up to 24 aliases 
+linked together under one annotation. Clicking into an entry will show data 
+on current names, former names, and full names; you name it! Actually don't 
+name it, because it's already been named. We have also added this thesaurus 
+archive to our search engine to help researchers find the gene they're looking for, 
+regardless of information source and version.

 <h2>Oct. 19, 2022 &nbsp;&nbsp; Two new curated assemblies: hs1 and mpxvRivers</h2>
 <p>
 We are happy to announce the release of two new curated assembly hubs for human
 <a href="/cgi-bin/hgGateway?db=hs1">(T2T/hs1)</a> and the Monkeypox virus
 <a href="/cgi-bin/hgGateway?db=mpxvRivers">(MT903340.1/mpxvRivers)</a>. These two assemblies
 showcase the new method of how we will be releasing new assemblies on the UCSC Genome Browser.
 Curated assembly hubs will be reviewed by our quality assurance team like previous native assemblies
 which will allow for quicker and streamlined releases. For the majority of users, there will be no
 obvious difference between the curated hubs and native assemblies. 
 </p>
 <p>
 Please note, the hs1 assembly is identical to the T2T Genark assembly hub. Unfortunately, with the
 database name change and the change in sequence names, users will need to reattach any
 custom tracks or hubs that were previously on the T2T assembly hub.
