Hello Mikle,
We do have plans to update GENCODE on the
hg38 assembly, however I'm unable to provide an exact release date at
this time. Note, you can
subscribe to our '
genome-
announce' mailing list,
https://groups.google.com/a/soe.ucsc.edu/forum/?hl=en#!forum/genome-announce,
to be notified when this and other major data sets become available
on the UCSC
Genome Browser. If you do not wish to subscribe to the
mailing list, there will be a release announcement posted on the
Genome Browser's main page at
http://genome.ucsc.edu/ when this
track is released.
If you have any further questions, please reply to
genome@soe.ucsc.edu. All messages sent to that address are
archived on a publicly-accessible forum. If your question includes
sensitive data, you may send it instead to
genome-w...@soe.ucsc.edu.
