 CytoTable creates Parquet or AnnData files for both independent analysis and for input into [Pycytominer](https://github.com/cytomining/pycytominer).
 The output files (such as [Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/) and [AnnData](https://github.com/scverse/anndata) file formats) have a documented data model, including referenceable schema where appropriate (for validation within Pycytominer or other image-based profiling projects).

+## Getting started
+
+Check out the following resources to get started with CytoTable!
+We created tutorials which follow a narrative-driven approach.
+We also provide Jupyter notebooks for pragmatic, hands-on explanations.
+
+We suggest image analysts begin with the tutorials and explore the example notebooks afterwards.
