+<h2>Description</h2>
+<p>
+The GENCODE Genes track (version M39, May 2026 (pre-release)) shows high-quality manual
+annotations merged with evidence-based automated annotations across the entire
+mouse genome generated by the
+<a href="https://www.gencodegenes.org/" target="_blank">GENCODE project</a>.
+The GENCODE gene set presents a full merge
+between HAVANA manual annotation process and Ensembl automatic annotation pipeline.
+Priority is given to the manually curated HAVANA annotation using predicted
+Ensembl annotations when there are no corresponding manual annotations.
+The M39 annotation was carried out on genome assembly GRCm39 (mm39).
+</p>
+<p>
+The Ensembl human and mouse data sets are the same gene annotations as GENCODE for the
+corresponding release.
