+  <h2>Version 1.4: Four new models, including the latest for <i>E.&nbsp;coli</i> K-12 MG1655</h2>
+  <p>
+    <i>Oct. 10, 2017</i>
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    Version 1.4 introduces four models to BiGG, including the latest
+    genome-scale model of <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 MG1655 from the Systems
+    Biology Research Group at UCSD. In addition, a new universal model can be
+    downloaded in JSON format from the <a href="/data_access">Data Access</a>
+    page, and a number of <a
+    href="https://github.com/SBRG/bigg_models/releases/tag/v1.4.0">bug fixes and
+    improvements</a> are included.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    To account for newly discovered metabolic capabilities in
+    <i>E.&nbsp;coli</i> K-12 MG1655, Monk and Lloyd et al. have developed an
+    updated genome-scale model, <a href="/models/iML1515"><i>i</i>ML1515</a>,
+    that bridges systems and
+    structural biology. The new model was extensively validated using omics
+    datasets and boasts a 3.7% improvement in gene essentiality predictions over
+    the previous model, <i>i</i>JO1366, along with 184 new genes and 196 new
+    reactions.  Check out the manuscript to see how this model can be applied to
+    analyze the metabolic capabilities <i>E.&nbsp;coli</i> strains in
+    metagenomic samples or used to build draft reconstructions of freshly
+    sequenced clinical isolates.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    Other new models are: <a href="/models/iLB1027_lipid"><i>i</i>LB1027_lipid</a>
+    for <i>Phaeodactylum tricornutum</i> described by <a
+    href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27152931">Levering et al.</a>,
+    <a href="/models/iJB785"><i>i</i>JB785</a> for <i>Synechococcus elongatus</i> described by
+    <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27911809">Broddrick et al.</a>,
+    and <a href="/models/iNF517"><i>i</i>NF517</a> for <i>Lactococcus lactis</i> described by
