-RAPDOR
+**R**\ apid **A**\ NOSIM using **P**\ robability **D**\ istance for estimati\ **O**\ n of **R**\ edistribution (RAPDOR) is a
+package to identify changes in probability distribution profiles originating from two different conditions. The Key idea is to
+measure a probability distribution for each condition multiple times (replicates) and calculate a probability distance between each
+measurement. The resulting distance heatmap is used together with treatment labels to evaluate whether the treatment led to a shift in the distribution via either ANOSIM or
+PERMANOVA.
