+<h2>Dec. 03, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; New gnomAD Missense Deleteriousness Prediction by Constraint (MPC) track for hg19</h2>
+<p>
+We are happy to announce the release of the
+<a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&position=default&g=gnomadMpc"
+        target="_blank">Missense Deleteriousness Prediction by Constraint (MPC) track</a> for hg19,
+now available in the
+<a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&position=default&g=gnomadSuper"
+        target="_blank">gnomAD superTrack</a>. This track shows a score that tries to identify
+missense-depleted regions using the patterns of rare missense variation in 125,748 gnomAD v2.1.1
+exomes, compared to a null mutational model. Missense-depleted regions are enriched for ClinVar pathogenic
+variants, de novo missense variants in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and
+complex trait heritability. This track can be used to aid in interpreting missense variants.</p>
+<p>
+Transcript regions with constraint predictions are colored using the viridis palette, where yellow 
+indicates the lowest OE values and dark blue-purple indicates the highest.</p>
+<div class="text-center">

+<p>
+A corresponding MPC version for hg38 is planned for release by the gnomAD team in 2026.</p>
+<p>
+We would like to thank Kaitlin Samocha for suggesting this track and the
+<a href="https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/about"
+	target="_blank">Genome Aggregation Database Consortium (gnomAD)</a> for making the data
+available. We would also like to thank Maximilian Haeussler, Luis Nassar, and Gerardo Perez for the

 <h2>Nov. 14, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; Updated Varaico Variants track and new Varaico Variants (suppl) track for hg38 and hg19</h2>
 <p>
 We are pleased to announce the release 2 of the <b>Varaico Variants track</b> and the addition of a new
 <b>Varaico Variants (suppl) track</b> for the human assemblies
 <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&position=default&g=varsInPubs"
         target="_blank">hg38/GRCh38</a> and
 <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&position=default&g=varsInPubs"
         target="_blank">hg19/GRCh37</a>. The Varaico tracks are generated using literature mining
 methods similar to those used for the <a href="http://bejerano.stanford.edu/AVADA/"
         target="_blank">AVADA</a>
 resource. With this update, the Varaico Variants track
 now contains more than 5.5 million variants.</p>
 <p>
 The Varaico Variants (suppl) track shows variants extracted from supplementary data files using
