 Reproduction pipeline for paper XXXXXXX
 =======================================
 
-This is the reproduction pipeline for the paper titled "**XXXXXX**",
-XXXXXXXX et al. YYYY (**IN PREPARATION**). By _reproduction pipeline_ it is
-meant that the full instructions on build the necessary software packages
-used in the analysis, and using them is provided in a human *and* computer
-readable format, such that the simple commands below will *exactly*
-reproduce what we have published (you just need Git, Wget, and minimal
