DRAFT for PAG-V
January 12-16, 1997
Welcome to the initial draft plan for the Plant and Animal
Genome V conference. Based on the successes of the first four
PG meetings, the scientific community working on genomics in
livestock species is joining the program, with both joint and
separate sessions.
The abstracts from the previous four meetings are available
via the Internet. Gopher to "probe.nalusda.gov" or use a WWW
client to view:
http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000
In either case, the abstracts appear on the menu and have
been WAIS indexed for convenient searching.
All administrative questions should be addressed to Darrin
Scherago at Scherago International Inc., 11 Penn Plaza, Suite
1003, New York, NY 10001. Their phone number is 212-643-1750
(FAX number is 212-643-1758) and their Internet e-mail address is
pag5 at scherago.com. Scherago International is the conference
organizer for PAG-V.
Participants are invited to submit abstracts for the poster
session either in hard copy (printed form) or by e-mail (see
Appendix A for details). There were over 330 posters at PG-IV.
Additional space has been obtained to handle even more posters at
PAG-V. The abstract forms will have a set of categories to
assure your poster talk is properly handled. The printed
abstract forms are now available from Scherago International.
All abstracts will be reviewed. The normal review turn-
around time will be within two weeks of receipt of the abstract.
This year all abstracts should be submitted to: PAG-V Abstracts,
USDA National Agriculture Library, Beltsville, MD 20705. You
will be notified of the acceptance of your abstract(s).
Abstracts may be submitted on printed forms available from
Scherago or by e-mail (pag5-form at probe.nalusda.gov). E-mail
abstracts should be sent to:
pag5-abstracts at probe.nalusda.gov
or submitted via the WWW PAG-V abstract form available by
connecting to:
http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000
See Appendix A for details. Please note: ABSTRACTS NOT
INCLUDING ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION WILL BE REJECTED!!
All accepted abstracts will be included in the final printed
program. For PAG-V the poster board size at the meeting will be
4 feet (1.22 meters) high by 6 feet (1.83 meters) wide. The
abstract submission deadline is Monday, 4 November, 1996. This
year we WILL enforce the deadline. Printed abstract forms are
available from Scherago International. Please contact them by
phone, FAX, e-mail, or regular post to obtain abstract forms.

award of $1000.00 to a international plant genome researcher who
has NOT previously attended a PAG meeting. Applicants must submit
a poster paper and one letter of recommendation from your
department/office in order to be considered for this award. The
application deadline is 1 September, 1996. For details please
contact Dr. Stephen R. Heller (SRHELLER at GIG.USDA.GOV).

ALL lecturers and speakers (type S) are by INVITATION ONLY.
ALL workshop speakers (type W) are by INVITATION ONLY and are
invited by the workshop chairperson.
Please note:
Workshop and speaker abstracts are not presented in the exhibit
hall.
Computer demonstration posters (category 10 listed below) are
also NOT presented in the exhibit hall. Poster boards will be
allocated only for Poster and Computer abstracts (Categories 1-9
listed below) which will be presented in the exhibit hall. If
you want to have both a workshop/speaker talk and a poster,
submit two separate and different abstracts, properly labeled.
Submitting a Category 10 computer abstract means that either
the program or system you are presenting is either on a computer
at the PAG-V computer room or is accessible via the Internet. NO
commercial will be allowed for either abstracts or
demonstrations.

IMPORTANT
Please do NOT submit a paper form for your abstract if you
have access to electronic mail on the Internet or a World Wide
Web (WWW) browser with forms capability (e.g., Mosaic, Netscape,
Lynx). Your abstract will appear faster on the network and will
not have errors introduced by scanning the paper abstract form.
You may also save yourself some time.
Send a mail message to pag5-form at probe.nalusda.gov - a blank
form will be returned by e-mail. The message does not need a
subject or a body. Fill out the form following the instructions
included with the form. Send the completed electronic form to
pag5-abstracts at probe.nalusda.gov. To submit via the WWW browser:
Point your browser to: http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000
and follow the instructions.
FORMAT
Title in Capitals, Author(s) name (surname, first name) and
affiliation in upper and lower case. If multiple authors, please
underline the Presenting Author's name(s). Multiple presenting
authors are ONLY for poster abstracts (categories 1-9). Single
space all typing. The text of the abstract should be a single
paragraph starting with a three (3) space indentation. Do NOT use
