+<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>

 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.
