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.

0ntroduction 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 wor ing on+ why it is interesting or im#ortant and what other wor has $een done 'Oli:are@+ 200A/.

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.+ 200A/.

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. 0n de#th discussion should $e le%t %or the ne,t section.
