 **CellRank** :cite:`lange:22,weiler:24` is a modular framework to study cellular dynamics based on Markov state modeling of
 multi-view single-cell data. See :doc:`about CellRank <about/index>` to learn more and :doc:`our citation guide <about/cite>` for guidance on
 citing our work correctly. Two peer-reviewed publications accompany our software:
-- `CellRank for directed single-cell fate mapping <https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-021-01346-6>`
