+using Single-cell RNA-Seq data.  It exploits the idea of transfer learning,
+projecting new data to the previous learned biologically interpretable space.
+The @code{tricycle} provides a pre-learned cell cycle space, which could be
+used to infer cell cycle time of human and mouse single cell samples.  In
+addition, it also offer functions to visualize cell cycle time on different
+embeddings and functions to build new reference.")
