+  summary: 'Given a group of genomes and their relationship with each other, the package clusters
+    the genomes and selects the most representative members of each cluster. Additional
+    data can be provided to the prioritize certain genomes. The results can be printed
+    out as a list or a new phylogeny with graphs of the trees and distance distributions
+    also available. For detailed introduction see: Thomas H Clarke, Lauren M Brinkac,
+    Granger Sutton, and Derrick E Fouts (2018), GGRaSP: a R-package for selecting representative
+    genomes using Gaussian mixture models, Bioinformatics, bty300,
