+    (description
+     "ikarus is a stepwise machine learning pipeline that tries to cope with a task
+of distinguishing tumor cells from normal cells.  Leveraging multiple
+annotated single cell datasets it can be used to define a gene set specific to
+tumor cells.  First, the latter gene set is used to rank cells and then to
+train a logistic classifier for the robust classification of tumor and normal
+cells.  Finally, sensitivity is increased by propagating the cell labels based
+on a custom cell-cell network.  ikarus is tested on multiple single cell
+datasets to ascertain that it achieves high sensitivity and specificity in
+multiple experimental contexts.")
