 I have reviewed these words and feel they are spelled correctly.
 'DNAbin' refers to an object of class ape::DNAbin.
 'VCF' refers to the variant call format specification, a format of file handled by this package.
 'VcfR' refers to this package.
 'genlight' refers to an object of class adegenet::genlight.
-'genomic' refers to properties of a genome.
