Dunno. We do not want to write a methods paper, but rather just include a section about epic in an appropriate biology paper sometime.
In its current state, epic seems to be a body of work ideally suited as a publication in OUP's Bioinformatics, as they generally publish papers featuring extensive benchmark work (as you've done) that push the state-of-the-art further in important areas like this. Thus, I would highly recommend considering publishing a standalone methods paper for epic, possibly also including an R implementation in the same manuscript (epicR).
