+<h2>Sep. 30, 2024  &nbsp;&nbsp; New gnomAD v4.1 tracks for hg38</h2>
+<p>
+We are excited to release six new
+<a target=_blank href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&g=gnomadVariants">
+Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) v4.1 tracks</a> for human assembly hg38/GRCh38. The new tracks
+are found in the gnomAD superTrack:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><b>gnomAD v4.1 (composite track)</b>:</li>
+   <ul>
+    <li><b>Genome variants</b>: Variants from 76,215 genomes</li>
+    <li><b>Exome Variants</b>: Variants from 730,947 exomes</li>
+   </ul>
+  <li><b>gnomAD Constraint Metrics (composite track)</b>:
+   <ul>
+    <li><b>Transcript LoF v4.1</b>: Predicted Loss of Function Constraint Metrics By Transcript (LOEUF and pLI) v4.1</li>
+    <li><b>Transcript Missense v4.1</b>: Predicted Missense Constraint Metrics By Transcript (Z-scores) v4.1</li>
+   </ul>
+  <li><b>gnomAD Rare CNV Variants</b>: Rare CNV variants (&lt;1% overall site frequency)</li>
+  <li><b>gnomAD Structural Variants</b>: Structural Variants v4.1</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+<b>gnomAD v4.1</b>: The gnomAD v4.1 data release replaces the v4 Pre-Release track and fixes the allele
+number <a target="_blank"
+href="https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/news/2024-04-gnomad-v4-1/">
+issue</a>. The data contains two subtracks from a total of 807,162 individuals: one for genome
+variant calls and one for exome variants.</p>
+<p>
+<b>gnomAD Constraint Metrics</b>: Contains metrics of pathogenicity per-gene as predicted for
+gnomAD v4.1 and identifies genes subject to strong selection against various classes of mutation.
+The release of the gnomAD v4.1 constraint metrics consists of two new subtracks in the gnomAD
+Constraint Metrics composite: Transcript LoF v4.1 and Transcript Missense v4.1</p>
+<p>
+<b>gnomAD Rare CNV Variants</b>: Displays rare autosomal coding copy number variants (CNVs) with an
+overall site frequency of less than 1%. These variants were identified from exome sequencing (ES)
+data of 464,297 individuals.</p>
+<p>
+<b>gnomAD Structural Variants</b>: Shows structural variants calls (&gt;=50 nucleotides) from
+63,046 unrelated genomes. It mostly (but not entirely) overlaps with the genome set used for the
+gnomAD short variant release.</p>
+
+<p>
+We would like to thank the <a href="https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/about" target="_blank">Genome
+Aggregation Database Consortium</a> for making these data available. We would also like to thank
+Chris Lee, Ana Benet-Pag&#232;s, Luis Nassar, and Gerardo Perez for the creation and release of
+these tracks.</p>

 <h2>Sept. 24, 2024  &nbsp;&nbsp; Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (NuMTs) for hg38</h2>
 <p>
 We are happy to announce the release of a new track,
 <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&position=default&g=nuMtSeq">NuMTs Sequence</a>,
 for human assembly (GRCh38/hg38). This track is a collection of Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments,
 provided in BED format with the BED score representing the alignment confidence. The BED score is
 calculated by -10log10(E-value) and is reflected in the grayscale value. Scores &gt;=100 are
 colored black. It is important to note that when a NuMT is a merged result, the score is taken as
 the highest score among all results.</p>
 
 <p>
