+    (description
+     "This package provides a method to purify a cell type or cell population
+of interest from heterogeneous datasets.  scGate package automatizes
+marker-based purification of specific cell populations, without requiring
+training data or reference gene expression profiles.  scGate takes as input a
+gene expression matrix stored in a Seurat object and a @acronym{GM, gating
+model}, consisting of a set of marker genes that define the cell population of
+interest.  It evaluates the strength of signature marker expression in each
+cell using the rank-based method UCell, and then performs @acronym{kNN,
+k-nearest neighbor} smoothing by calculating the mean UCell score across
+neighboring cells.  kNN-smoothing aims at compensating for the large degree of
+sparsity in scRNAseq data.  Finally, a universal threshold over kNN-smoothed
+signature scores is applied in binary decision trees generated from the
+user-provided gating model, to annotate cells as either “pure” or “impure”,
+with respect to the cell population of interest.")
