abstract: RankMap is a fast and scalable tool for reference-based cell type annotation
  of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. It uses ranked gene expression
  and multinomial regression to achieve robust predictions, even with partial gene
  coverage. Compatible with Seurat, SingleCellExperiment, and SpatialExperiment objects,
  RankMap offers flexible preprocessing and significantly faster runtime than tools
  like SingleR, Azimuth, and RCTD.
