A$stract

This is where the te,t %or your a$stract should go. )otice that there is ery little %ormatting $ut

that it is dou$le s#aced.

ntroduction

This is where the te,t %or your introduction will come. The introduction should discuss such

to#ics as the grou# or gene that you are woring on+ why it is interesting or im#ortant and what other

wor has $een done 'Oliare@+ 200/.

Methods

This is where you would #ut your te,t %or the methods. 7ou will want to descri$e how you

got your sequences and what #rograms and methods were used in the analysis 'Tamura et al.+ 200/.

Results

This is where you would #ut your te,t %or the results o% your analyses. Remem$er+ these are a

#recise $ut $rie% discussion o% the results o% your analyses. n de#th discussion should $e le%t %or the

ne,t section.

iscussion

This is where you would #ut your te,t %or the discussion #ortion o% your #ro8ect. t is a good

idea to com#are your results to #reious wor and i% you do that you will need to re%er to #a#ers such

as 7oung and "leaer '2003/. 4ee the literature cited section $elow %or e,am#les o% how to cite
