{\bf Abstract.} In this document there are the
main guidelines for preparing your contribution for the electronic
proceedings of CIBB meeting.
This document will help you to produce the PDF file of your paper.
The paper length must be from 4 to 6 pages.
The language used should consistently follow one of the English variants (Canadian English, British English, US American English, Australian English, etc.).

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:SCIENTIFIC-BACKGROUND}
In this document there are the guidelines for your contribution
for the electronic proceedings of the Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (CIBB) meetings.
In this section the authors need to write the Scientific Background or the Introduction.
\section{Data and Methods}
\label{sec:DATA-AND-METHODS}
This document is the printed version of the PDF file, and
is formatted following the guidelines here described. On the CIBB website
you can download the zipped
archive from the CIBB conference website.
Please note that only PDF versions of papers can be accepted, as the
proceedings of CIBB will be produced starting from them.
\section{Results}
\label{sec:RESULTS}
The paper must be formatted single column, 12 pt, on standard A4 paper, and its side edges should be 2.5 cm above, down, left, and right, as shown by this document. The maximum length of the paper is 6 pages.
The references should be cited in this way~\cite{domingos2012few,powell2020tried}, or also~\cite{vcuklina2020review,hansen2014scientific,WWW-GO}.
Software code commands should be written this way:
\newline
\texttt{x <- 0.5} \newline
\texttt{y <- 0.8} \newline
\texttt{z <- x + y} \newline
\texttt{print(z)} \newline
\subsection{\bf \it Tables and Figures}
\label{sec:TABLES-AND-FIGURES}
Tables and figures must be placed in the paper close where they are
cited. The caption heading for a table should be placed at the top of
the table, as shown in~\autoref{tab:RESULTS}. The caption heading for a
figure should be placed below the figure, as shown in~\autoref{fig:CIBB-LOGO}.
\begin{table}[httb!] \small
\centering
\begin{tabularx}{0.35\textwidth}{ l l c }
\toprule
\textbf{method} & \textbf{result} & \textbf{interpretation} \\
\midrule
\rowcolor{LightBlue} aaa & 0.7 & ccc \\
ddd & 0.2 & zzz \\
\rowcolor{LightBlue} jjj & 0.4 & ppp \\\
ggg & 0.5 & qqq \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
\caption{\textbf{Recap of the results}.
Example table containing results.
Please alternate the background colors for each row, to facilitate a clearer interpretation\label{tab:RESULTS}}
\end{table}
\subsection{Equations}
\label{sec:EQUATIONS}
Equations should be centered and numbered consecutively, in this way:
\begin{equation}
{\bf y}_{j} = \frac {\sum_{k=1}^{n} (u_{jk})^{m}{\bf x}_{k} }{
\sum_{k=1}^{n} ({ u}_{jk})^{m} } \, \, \ \mbox{\hspace{.5cm} } \forall j,
\label{eq:FCM_YJ}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
u_{jk} =
\left\{
\begin{array}{clll}
\left( \sum_{l=1}^{c} \left( \frac {E_{j}({\bf x}_{k})}{E_{l}({\bf x}_{k})}
\right)^\frac{2}{m-1} \right)^{-1} & if & E_{j}({\bf x}_{k})>0 & \forall j,k \\
1 & if & E_{j}({\bf x}_{k})=0 & (u_{lk}=0 \ \ \forall l \neq j) \\
\end{array}
\right.
\label{eq:FCM_UJK}
\end{equation}
and referred as: ~\autoref{eq:FCM_YJ} and ~\autoref{eq:FCM_UJK}.

\caption{\textbf{Example figure}.
Please generate your figure images as PDF files and include them here in the article within the text.
We suggest you to generate your figures with the \texttt{ggplot2} package in \texttt{R} or with \texttt{Matplotlib} in \texttt{Python}.
Regarding colors, please make sure you use a colorblind palette.
This image was generated with \texttt{ggplot2} and then edited with LibreOffice Draw.
