Additional Abstract Information

New ABSTRACT RULES:
Everyone who submits an abstract is required to register prior to the meeting, to be included in the Final Abstract Guide and the website. You must be registered by December 1, or your abstract will NOT be printed or posted on the website.

As a general rule the registered attendee can appear as first author on one abstract and appear as a secondary author on an unlimited number of abstracts as long as a presenting author on the other abstracts is also registered for the conference. Some exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis when authors are invited to speak within workshop sessions.

Workshop and speaker abstracts will appear in the Final Abstract Guide for PAG-XV, but not in the exhibit hall.

Computer demonstrations are also NOT presented in the exhibit hall; however, poster boards will be allocated in the exhibit hall for those that selected to present Computer Demonstration and Poster abstracts.

If you want to have both a workshop oral presentation and a poster, submit two separate and different abstracts, properly labeled. The poster board size at the meeting will be 3 feet 10 inches (1.17 meters) high by 2 feet 10 inches (0.86 meters) wide. This is the actual usable space!

Submitting a computer abstract means that either the program or system you are presenting is either on a computer at the PAG-XV computer room or is accessible via the Internet. NO commercial software will be allowed for either abstracts or demonstrations.

IMPORTANT

Please be advised that all accepted abstracts are considered public information and by submitting an abstract you agree to license PAG-XV and Scherago International to post the abstract on the conference web site.

Special Note:

PAG-XV abstracts will be available online for browsing and searching on December 13, 2006. All eleven (11) previous PAG meeting paper/poster abstracts have been indexed for convenient searching from the International Plant & Animal Genomes Conference Homepage.
