+ <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>
+   </tbody>
+ </table>
+ <p>
+ We would like to thank VarChat for providing the data to UCSC. We would also like to thank Lou
+ Nassar, Max Haeussler, and Gerardo Perez for their efforts on this release.</p>

 +<h2>Feb. 21, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; New AlphaMissense scores track for hg38 and hg19</h2>
 +<p>
 +We are pleased to announce the addition of AlphaMissense tracks to the hg38 and
 +hg19 reference genomes. AlphaMissense scores predict the pathogenicity of
 +missense variants for all possible single amino acid substitutions in the human
 +proteome.

  <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
  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.
