+ ++We are pleased to announce new GENCODE Gene annotation tracks, which correspond +to Ensembl 108, for three assemblies: hg19/GRCh37, +hg38/GRCh38, +and +mm39/GRCm39. +For human, the GENCODE V42 annotations were mapped to hg38/GRCh38 and then back-mapped +to the hg19/GRCh37 assembly. The hg38 GENCODE V42 and mm39 GENCODE VM31 releases now have an +assigned rank for transcripts within the gene. The transcript rank may be used to filter the number +of transcripts displayed in a principled manner. More details about transcript ranking can be found +on the track description page. For all three assemblies, the gene sets contain the +following tracks:
++The hg38 and mm39 assemblies also include the following track that is not available on hg19: +
++The 2-way Pseudogenes track has been dropped in these releases. Details on each release can be found on the GENCODE site. This includes statistics on each release. +
++We would like to thank the GENCODE project for providing these +annotations. We would also like to thank Mark Diekhans and Gerardo Perez for the development and +release of these tracks.
+We are pleased to announce our enhanced Genome Browser search, which now includes results in our help docs and public hubs. This new search can be used in the search bar of our gateway page or the Genome Browser tracks display page. The search now finds matches to words in track data, track names, track descriptions, public hub track names, and public hub descriptions within the current assembly. In addition, it will also find matches in any of our documentation. The results page also includes a collapsible tree of the search results, which shows the types of categories for the given search results and the number of matches available in each category. The search results will belong to one of 5 categories:
