Additional Abstract Information

NEW ABSTRACT RULES:
At least one author of each submitted abstract is required to register prior to the meeting in order to be included in the final Abstract Guide and the PAG XVII web site. Each registered meeting participant is allowed to be the Presenting Author on a single Abstract, although you may be a non-Presenting Author on an unlimited number of Abstracts. You MUST be registered by December 1, 2008 or your abstract will NOT be printed or posted on the website.

Workshop and speaker abstracts will appear in the Final Abstract Guide for PAG XVII, 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 the program or system you are presenting is either on a computer at the PAG XVII 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 XVII and Scherago International to post the abstract on the conference web site.

Special Note:

PAG XVII abstracts will be available online for browsing and searching on December 10, 2008. All previous PAG meeting paper/poster abstracts have been indexed for convenient searching from the International Plant & Animal Genomes Conference Archives.
