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.
The titles of sections should also be separated from the text below by one blank line.

At the end of the manuscript, the citations should be given in alphabetical order, with the authors surname followed by the initial.
