The search box allows users to find genome assemblies by entering different types of queries: Searching by **species name**: Ovis aries Searching by **common name**: dog Searching by **GC accession number**: GCF_016699485.2 +Results are grouped by source. Assemblies listed under **UCSC Genome Browser assemblies** are +the long-standing browsers with tracks curated by UCSC. Those under **UCSC GenArk** come from +NCBI GenBank and RefSeq and are served as assembly hubs. There are hundreds of thousands of +GenArk assemblies, which is why the search box, rather than the species tree, is now the way +to reach most genomes.

--- ### Exploring the UCSC Species Tree

-The **Species Tree** option displays a phylogenetic tree that can be navigated using scrolling or -by clicking different parts of the tree. Hovering over a branch will reveal the lineage branch name. +The phylogenetic species tree is no longer shown by default; the **Browse/Select Species** column +now lists your **Recent Genomes** instead. Click **Show species tree** to display the tree. You can +scroll it or click different parts to move around, and hovering over a branch reveals the lineage +branch name. **Note**: The Species Tree does not include all available Genome Browser assemblies. The process of adding Genome Browsers has been streamlined, enabling rapid releases but omitting certain previous features, such as inclusion in the Species Tree. To find a specific assembly, use the assembly search box.
