Resume (Separate the text below from the word Resume by one blank line)
Resume is structured with a standard layout such that the text is divided into sub-sections under the following three headings: Motivation, Results, Availability. All this words should be typed in Italics. In cases where authors feel the headings inappropriate, some flexibility is allowed. The abstracts should be succinct and contain only material relevant to the headings. A maximum of 150 words is recommended. If internet hyperlinks are available for any part of the abstract, then this should be given in the form of ‘clickable text’, i.e.{{http://www…}}.
Motivation: This section should specifically state the scientific question within the context of the field of study.
Results: This section should summarize the scientific advance or novel results of the study, and its impact on computational biology.
Availability: This section should state software availability (academic or commercial) if the paper focuses mainly on software development or on the implementation of an algorithm. Examples are free availability over the Internet on WWW or ftp server; available on request from the authors; or available as a commercial package. The complete address (URL) should be given.
The sections should be separated from each other by one blank line.
Also the titles of sections should be separated from the text below by one blank line.
Introduction
Methods and algorithms
Implementation and results

References
In the text, a reference should be cited by author and date; not more than 2 authors may be cited per reference; if there are more than 2 authors use et al. References must NOT be numbered. At the end of the manuscript, the citations should be given in alphabetical order, with the authors surname followed by the initial. References should include in the following order: author name(s), year, paper title, journal title, volume number, inclusive page numbers. The name of the journal should be abbreviated according to the World List of Scientific Periodicals. Book references should also include the editors and the name and address of the publisher.
