People at the meeting have been given the opportunity to put three papers for background: a data paper of their own, a paper that is of special interest, and a third paper (maybe a review, more data, their own or another groups!)

The Background scientific papers for this meeting are located at www.biobanana.diinoweb.com in the directory satDNA with userid biobanana and password satDNA
