[GenABEL-dev] new topic for Journal Club

[Maria G]

Dear all,
back to the “Journal Club on Statistical Genomics”, I would suppose something like that in announcement:

News:
A new forum “Journal Club on Statistical Genomics” has started on GenABEL. It's supposed to bring together the curious questions and smart answers based on the on-line bibliography. 


Read more:

“Journal Club on Statistical Genomics” is an interactive platform which is created to help the GenABEL users to share and spread their theoretical knowledge. Here one can discuss a bright paper or rise any question in the frame of Statistical Genomics. Important point is to give on-line links to the appropriate sources. We hope that many-sided discussions in Journal Club will help in more productive use and development of GenABEL. 


best wishes
Mascha
