+    (description
+     "@dfn{Single-cell RNA sequencing} (scRNA-seq) methods are typically
+unable to quantify the expression levels of all genes in a cell, creating a
+need for the computational prediction of missing values (dropout imputation).
+Most existing dropout imputation methods are limited in the sense that they
+exclusively use the scRNA-seq dataset at hand and do not exploit external
+gene-gene relationship information.  The @code{ADImpute} package proposes two
+methods to address this issue:
+
+@enumerate
+@item a gene regulatory network-based approach using gene-gene relationships
+  learnt from external data;
+@item a baseline approach corresponding to a sample-wide average.
+@end enumerate
+
+@code{ADImpute} implements these novel methods and also combines them with
+existing imputation methods like @code{DrImpute} and @code{SAVER}.
+@code{ADImpute} can learn the best performing method per gene and combine the
+results from different methods into an ensemble.")
