+description: |
+  ncountr is the first Python package for end-to-end Nanostring nCounter gene expression analysis.
+  It provides RCC file parsing, quality control, normalization, differential expression testing,
+  and gene set scoring. Results can be exported as AnnData objects for downstream analysis
+  with scanpy and the broader scverse ecosystem.
