[GenABEL-dev] abstract for UseR! 2013

[L.C. Karssen]

Hi Yurii,

Looks good! The only thing I'm missing is a sentence that explains what
you are going to show. Something along the lines of "I will show results
obtained with GenABEL/show how to analyse a dataset using
GenABEL/introduce each of the packages in the suite/...".


Good luck in Spain!

Lennart.
