Hi Yurii,

True. I've removed the word poster.

That's what I'm a bit afraid of. Last year you already mentioned
OmicABEL (although maybe not by that name, I don't remember exactly). So
in terms of new statistical methods which should be really interesting
for the meeting we haven't really much to offer. I hope that by that
time OmicABEL is out of the beta stage. That would be great. As well as
having OmicABELnoMM in beta stage (or beyond!).
By then ProbABEL should be at 0.5.0 which includes numerous speed
improvements and p-values in the output.


Best,

Lennart.
