\section{\large Introduction.} Poster abstracts should be submitted
online via the poster web page of the conference. The abstracts of
accepted posters will be published in book form and will be
available at the meeting and subsequently posted on the web. The
following instructions are intended to maximize space available to
authors while ensuring agreeable and consistent appearance,
efficient handling and timely publication. Final posters may, of
course, be in any format, as long as they fit onto a board of 1 m
height and 1 m width. Acceptance of an abstract is conditional on at
least one of its authors preregistering for RECOMB electronically
before February 19, 2006 (see {\tt http://recomb06.dei.unipd.it/}).

Abstracts must be received by January 20, 2006; authors will be
notified about acceptance before February 3, 2006. Files we cannot
open or which do not satisfy the format instructions will be
returned.

\section{\large Software and files.}The abstract, written in clear and
reasonably grammatical English, must be prepared in exactly the same format as
the example in the templates, and should fit on two pages, everything included,
after conversion to pdf.
If at all possible, use LaTeX 2e article document class, with all the default
options, and with a minimum of other packages and other files.  Download the
template file provided. To conserve space, do not split the abstract into many
small sections.

For those for whom LaTeX is impossible, use Word or other easily translatable
word-processing software.  Download the Word template and substitute your own
text, titles and headings, conserving the same fonts, sizes and styles.

The output from LaTeX processing or the Word document file
should be converted to a pdf format for final web submission.
Make sure that the extra information that you
provide during the web submission (title, authors, keywords, etc) is in agreement with the content of the abstract.

\section{\large Figures and tables.}

Figures must be created with the standard LaTeX figure environment or included as
an eps file. Tables should be created with the table environment.
Make sure figures are readable and not too crowded. Do not use
type sizes smaller than {\bf footnotesize} in figures and tables.  No color
please.

Figures in Word must be incorporated in the abstract before converting to pdf.
In any case, they must appear properly positioned in the final pdf file.

Use the general format in Figure \ref{circles}, if possible.

Tabular displays should have the general format of Table \ref{turns}, if
possible.
