[GenABEL-dev] Abstract for the EMGM 2014 conference

[L.C. Karssen]

Good point! :-)
I've got several options:

1) The State of the GenABEL Project

2) The GenABEL project: improvements and additions

3) New software and developments in the GenABEL project

4) GenABEL: implementing statistical genetics in software


Any other suggestions?
I'm a bit concerned that it may be too software-developement oriented
for a statistical genetics meeting. We'll see
