-      "This package is Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools (CATALYST).  Mass
-cytometry (CyTOF) uses heavy metal isotopes rather than fluorescent tags as
-reporters to label antibodies, thereby substantially decreasing spectral
-overlap and allowing for examination of over 50 parameters at the single cell
-level.  While spectral overlap is significantly less pronounced in CyTOF than
-flow cytometry, spillover due to detection sensitivity, isotopic impurities,
-and oxide formation can impede data interpretability.  We designed
-CATALYST (Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools) to provide a pipeline for
-preprocessing of cytometry data, including i) normalization using bead
-standards, ii) single-cell deconvolution, and iii) bead-based compensation.")
