+<h2>June 24, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; New GENCODE gene tracks: Human V48 (hg19/hg38) - Mouse M37
+(mm39)</h2>
+<p>
+We are happy to announce new GENCODE Gene annotation tracks, which correspond
+to <a href="https://www.ensembl.info/2025/05/07/ensembl-114-has-been-released/"
+target="_blank">Ensembl 114</a>, for three assemblies: <a target="_blank"
+href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeGencodeV48lift37&position=default">hg19/GRCh37</a>,
+<a target="_blank" href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&g=wgEncodeGencodeV48&position=default">hg38/GRCh38</a>,
+and <a target="_blank" href="../../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=mm39&g=wgEncodeGencodeVM37&position=default">mm39/GRCm39</a>.
+For human, the GENCODE V47 annotations were mapped to hg38/GRCh38 and then back-mapped
+to the hg19/GRCh37 assembly. For all three assemblies, the gene sets contain the following
+tracks:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><b>Basic</b> - a subset of the <em>Comprehensive set</em>.</li>
+  <li><b>Comprehensive</b> - all GENCODE coding and non-coding transcript annotations, including
+      polymorphic pseudogenes. This includes both manual and automatic annotations.</li>
+  <li><b>Pseudogenes</b> - all annotations except polymorphic pseudogenes.</li></ul>
+<p>
+The hg38 and mm39 assemblies also include the following track that is not available on hg19:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+      <b>PolyA</b> - polyA signals and sites manually annotated on the genome based on transcribed
+      evidence (ESTs and cDNAs) of 3' end of transcripts containing at least 3 A's not matching the
+      genome.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Details on each release can be found on the <a target="_blank"
+href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/">GENCODE site</a>. This includes <a target="_blank"
+href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/human/stats.html">statistics on each release</a>.
+<p>We would like to thank the <a target="_blank"
+href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/pages/gencode.html">GENCODE project</a> for providing these
+annotations. We would also like to thank Mark Diekhans and Gerardo Perez for the development and
+release of these tracks.</p>

 <h2>June 11, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; EVA SNP release 7 for 40 assemblies</h2>
 <p>
 We are happy to announce the release of the EVA SNP Release 7 tracks for 40 assemblies, which now
 includes <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=bosTau9&g=evaSnp7&position=default"
 	target="_blank">bosTau9</a>,
 <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=ce11&g=evaSnp7&position=default" target="_blank">ce11</a>, and
 <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=rn6&g=evaSnp7&position=default" target="_blank">rn6</a>.
 These tracks contain mappings of single nucleotide variants and
 small insertions and deletions (indels) &mdash; collectively Simple Nucleotide Variants (SNVs)
 &mdash; from the European Variation Archive
 (<a href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eva/" target="_blank">EVA</a>) Release 7. The full list of
 assemblies that contain the EVA SNP release 7 track is below:</p>
