+    (description
+     "biomaRt provides an interface to a growing collection of databases
+implementing the @url{BioMart software suite, http://www.biomart.org}.  The
+package enables retrieval of large amounts of data in a uniform way without
+the need to know the underlying database schemas or write complex SQL queries.
+Examples of BioMart databases are Ensembl, COSMIC, Uniprot, HGNC, Gramene,
+Wormbase and dbSNP mapped to Ensembl.  These major databases give biomaRt
+users direct access to a diverse set of data and enable a wide range of
+powerful online queries from gene annotation to database mining.")
