Description: Spatially-aware quality control (QC) software for both
        spot-level and artifact-level QC in spot-based spatial
        transcripomics, such as 10x Visium. These methods calculate
        local (nearest-neighbors) mean and variance of standard QC
        metrics (library size, unique genes, and mitochondrial
        percentage) to identify outliers spot and large technical
        artifacts.
