| SGI Best 
              Paper and Best Student Paper Finalists Chosen The ISMB2003 
              program committee, chaired by Gene Myers, professor of electrical 
              engineering and computer sciences at the University of California, 
              Berkeley, has chosen the finalists for this year's SGI Best Paper 
              and Best Student Paper awards. The winners in both categories will 
              be selected at ISMB2003. The program 
              committee and senior reviewers for the conference provided the initial 
              nominations. The committees co-chairs then chose the finalists 
              after reviewing all nominations. The winners will be selected by 
              a subset of the senior review committee based on the written paper 
              as well as oral presentation at the conference. The awards will 
              be presented Wednesday, June 2 at 17:20 during ISMB2003. SGI Best
