Hi Mark, thanks a lot for the ultra fast response.
Could you come up with a better renaming suggestion and may be also put the original author in CC? Its to bad to have two different scientific data formats with the same name. I wonder whether there is some typical prefix of suffix to differentiate these formats like bio-nexus or genome-nexus / nexus-bio or nexus-genome. Kind regards Andreas.
