 +<h2>Mar. 01, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; New highlight features for track hubs now available</h2>
 +<p>
 +We are happy to announce the release of new vertical highlight features for track hubs. These
 +settings follow exactly the same syntax and functionality as the <code>filter</code> trackDb
 +settings, except instead of items being excluded from the display, they are striped with a colored
 +background to appear &quot;highlighted&quot; compared to the other items in the display.
 +The full list of highlight trackDb settings is available on the
 +<a href="/goldenPath/help/trackDb/trackDbHub.html#highlight">trackDb definitions</a> page.
 +</p>
 +<p>
 +Please note that at this time only one higlight color is available per track, and if multiple
 +highlight settings are present on the same track, only items that pass ALL highlight settings will
 +highlighted.</p>
 +<p>
 +<b>Examples:</b>
 +<pre>
 +highlight.score 300
 +</pre>
 +<p>
 +In the example above, the <code>highlight.score</code> setting allows you to highlight items based
 +on the value of the <code>score</code> field. Passing a value of 300 to the setting will highlight
 +all items with a score of 300 or above.</p>
 +<pre>
 +highlightText.name NM*
 +</pre>
 +<p>
 +The example above uses the <code>highlightText</code> setting which will apply a highlight on the
 +field <code>name</code>. Using this setting, any items that begin with <i>NM</i> are
 +highlighted.</p>
 +<pre>
 +highlightColor #ff0000
 +</pre>
 +<p>
 +In this final example, the <code>highlightColor</code> to set the default highlight color. With
 +this setting, all highlight stripes will use the color red, <code>#ff0000</code>.</p>

+ <h2>Feb. 24, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; enGenome VarChat track for human (hg38 and hg19)</h2>
+ <p>
+ We are happy to announce the release of the enGenome VarChat track for the
+ <a target="_blank" href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&g=varChat&position=default" >hg38/GRCh38</a>
+ and <a target="_blank"
+ href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=varChat&position=default">hg19/GRCh37</a> human assemblies,
+ available in the Variants in Papers superTrack.
+ <a target="_blank" href="https://varchat.engenome.com/">VarChat</a> is an open platform that
+ leverages the power of generative artificial intelligence to support the genomic variant
+ interpretation process by searching the available scientific literature for each variant and
+ condensing it into a brief yet informative text.
+ </p>
+ 
+ <p>
+ The track shows how many papers the variant was observed in, its gene, its HGVS nomenclature, and
+ dbSNP rsID. Variants are color-coded based on the level of literature support, as shown in the
+ table below:</p>
+ <table>
+   <thead>
+     <tr>
+       <th style="border-bottom: 2px solid #6678B1;">Color</th>
+       <th style="border-bottom: 2px solid #6678B1;">Level of literature support</th>
+     </tr>
+   </thead>
+   <tbody>
+     <tr>
+       <td style="background-color: #012840; width: 50px;"></td>
+       <td align="left">High: at least 25 papers mention the variant</td>
+     </tr>
+     <tr>
+       <td style="background-color: #03738C; width: 50px;"></td>
+       <td align="left">Medium: between 10 and 24 papers mention the variant</td>
+     </tr>
+     <tr>
+       <td style="background-color: #96D2D9; width: 50px;"></td>
+       <td align="left">Low: fewer than 10 papers mention the variant</td>
+     </tr>

+ missense variants for all possible single amino acid substitutions in the human

  <h2>Feb. 14, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; CIViC track for hg19 and hg38 is now available</h2>
  <p>
  We are excited to announce the release of the CIViC track for <a target="_blank"
  href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=civic&position=default">hg19/GRCh37</a> and
  <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&g=civic&position=default" target="_blank">hg38/GRCh38</a>.
  The <a target="_blank" href="https://civicdb.org/welcome">
  Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer</a> (CIViC) is an online database of clinically
 -relevant variant interpretations from expert- and crowd-sourced peer-reviewed literature, clinical
 +relevant variant interpretations from expert and crowd-sourced peer-reviewed literature, clinical
  trials, and some conference abstracts. The details page for a feature will list diseases and
  therapies that have been associated with a genomic variant. Visiting the CIViC page for a variant
  will allow browsing the Molecular Profiles associated with that variant, and in turn each Molecular
  Profile shows the Clinical Evidence and Assertions for various diseases and therapies.
  </p>
  
  <p>
  This track reflects the monthly data summaries published by CIViC. The
  latest information is always available directly on the <a href="https://civicdb.org/welcome"
