<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm honoured that you continue with my
draft! Statistical Genomics is a nice 2 word summary what Genabel
is.<br>
<br>
Maybe it is a idea to reserve some space in the logo to add the
name of a sub-project. It is nice to add your own sub-project
under one flag (logo), but can be a cause of making the thing ugly
(like painting a name on a national flag).<br>
