Package: SpatialExperiment
Version: 1.23.0
Title: S4 Class for Spatially Resolved -omics Data
Description: Defines an S4 class for storing data from spatial -omics
        experiments. The class extends SingleCellExperiment to support
        storage and retrieval of additional information from spot-based
        and molecule-based platforms, including spatial coordinates,
        images, and image metadata. A specialized constructor function
        is included for data from the 10x Genomics Visium platform.
