INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECOMB PROCEEDINGS

As indicated below, it is particularly important that you leave sufficient space in the lower left corner of the first column on the first page for ACM to fill in the copyright information. There is a 10-page limit on your paper including everything. You may purchase up to 2 extra pages at $200 per page. The check should be made out to RECOMB 98.

Please submit a camera-ready copy produced on a high-resolution out-put device of your manuscript. The camera-ready format is:

• 8 1/2" x 11" paper. (Note: many European countries have a longer paper format than the RECOMB standard. Please make all possible efforts to submit your paper in 8 1/2" x 11" format.)
  
  
• 2-column. (This means two vertical columns of type running down the page. For example, Science uses 3-column format. Nature uses 3-column for its news and views and 2-column for articles.)
