This feature can be applied to a UCSC genome, a +GenArk assembly, or an assembly hub. These track hub groups are kept separate from other track +hubs and the native UCSC Genome Browser track groups, allowing for greater organizational +flexibility. For instance, you can add a "genes" group without causing conflicts or confusion. +You can define groups with names like +"Category 1", "Category 2", and "Category 3". +<div class="text-center"> + <img class='text-center' width="80%" src="../../images/groupsEx.png"> +</div> +<p> +For more information, see the +<a href="/goldenPath/help/hgTrackHubHelp.html#Group" +target="_blank">Adding Groups to a Track hub</a> section of the Track Hubs help page.</p> +<p> +We would like to thank Brian Joseph Raney, Mark Diekhans, Luis Nassar, and Gerardo Perez for their +work on this release.</p> + + <a name="081424"></a> <h2>Aug. 14, 2024 New pop-up dialogue box for item details</h2> <p> We are excited to introduce the new Item Details feature which simplifies the user experience by displaying track item details in a pop-up dialogue box.

This box can be resized by clicking and dragging the button located in its lower-right corner. For users who prefer viewing item details on a separate page, clicking the new window button in the upper-right corner will load the information in a new tab. The dialogue box can be
