Making major changes to the markdown /docs/ directory since we are going to keep adding to it. Starting with adding more heirarchy, also had to update the makefile and staticPage.lua to reference the correct root path for the CSS. Also had to update all of the relative links in the pages so far in order to make them absolute paths for easier implementation. Lastly, adding the new hubBasics page which is the first in the new hubs subdir. Refs #28347

+The [UCSC Genome Browser Gateway](/cgi-bin/hgGateway) page is a tool for finding and accessing
genome assemblies. It features two search boxes: one for selecting an assembly and another for
specifying a genomic position. This tutorial will guide you through various features of the
Gateway page, including:
- Finding a genome browser using the Popular Species option
- Exploring the UCSC Species Tree
- Searching for an assembly using different identifiers
- Viewing sequences
- Using search terms to jump to a specific genome location

## Guided Walkthrough
### Using the Popular Species Option
The **Popular Species** section lists commonly used model organisms, allowing for quick selection of
their genome browsers. Clicking on a species will display the default assembly version for that
organism.

The different assemblies often differ in their sequence content, with newer versions using newer
technologies to fill in gaps, correct errors, and refine genome structure. Some regions of an older
assembly may shift or change, while sequencing errors from previous data may be corrected in an
updated version. For example, the updated reference genome hg38 contains many improvements over the
hg19 assembly, some of which may include contigs that were merged together or placed where there
were previously sequence gaps.
To change the assembly version, click the **Assembly** option under **Find Position**.
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
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.
**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.

If a desired assembly is not listed, you can request it by clicking **"Unable to find a
genome? Send us a request**". This will direct you to the **Genome Assembly Search and Request
page.**
Steps to request an assembly:
1. Enter the **species name, common name, or GC accession number** of the assembly.
2. Click the **request button**.
3. Fill out the required information on the submission page.
Clicking the **View sequences** link directs users to the **Assembly Browser Sequences** page. This
page displays information about chromosomes, sequences, and contigs for the selected assembly.
The third column displays alias sequence names, while subsequent columns show alternate naming
schemes. These include:
- **assembly** - Names from NCBI's assembly_report.txt file.
- **genbank** - INSDC names.
- **refseq** - Names from RefSeq annotations.

The Gateway page also offers **download links** for data files related to the genome assembly.
Once an assembly is selected, users can search for specific genome locations using:
- Genome positions (e.g., chr1:1000000-2000000)
- Gene names (e.g., BRCA1)
For more details on valid position queries, visit the [Querying the Genome Browser](/goldenPath/help/query.html) page.
