+branching lineage structures in low-dimensional data.  Slingshot was designed
+to model developmental trajectories in single-cell RNA sequencing data and
+serve as a component in an analysis pipeline after dimensionality reduction
+and clustering.  It is flexible enough to handle arbitrarily many branching
+events and allows for the incorporation of prior knowledge through supervised
+graph construction.")
