Description: This package addresses two broad areas.  It allows for
        in-depth analysis of spatial transcriptomic data by identifying
        tissue neighbourhoods.  These are contiguous regions of tissue
        surrounding individual cells.  'CatsCradle' allows for the
        categorisation of neighbourhoods by the cell types contained in
        them and the genes expressed in them.  In particular, it
        produces Seurat objects whose individual elements are
        neighbourhoods rather than cells.  In addition, it enables the
        categorisation and annotation of genes by producing Seurat
        objects whose elements are genes.
