[GenABEL-dev] Abstract for the EMGM 2014 conference

[Yury Aulchenko]

Very general comments: I suggest not say "poster" - you may get an oral. Why not? Any words about the community to add? Forum, etc - we have few numbers in the UseR! presentation (on our site). - but may be it will get too broad then...
