+    (description
+     "This package provides a suite of methods for powerful and robust
+microbiome data analysis, including data normalization, data simulation,
+community-level association testing and differential abundance analysis.  It
+implements generalized UniFrac distances, @dfn{Geometric Mean of Pairwise
+Ratios} (GMPR) normalization, semiparametric data simulator, distance-based
+statistical methods, and feature- based statistical methods.  The
+distance-based statistical methods include three extensions of PERMANOVA:
+
+@itemize
+@item PERMANOVA using the Freedman-Lane permutation scheme,
+@item PERMANOVA omnibus test using multiple matrices, and
+@item analytical approach to approximating PERMANOVA p-value.
+@end itemize
+
+Feature-based statistical methods include linear model-based methods for
+differential abundance analysis of zero-inflated high-dimensional
+compositional data.")
