title: 'clustSIGNAL: ClustSIGNAL: a spatial clustering method'
version: 1.5.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.clustSIGNAL
abstract: 'clustSIGNAL: clustering of Spatially Informed Gene expression with Neighbourhood
  Adapted Learning. A tool for adaptively smoothing and clustering gene expression
  data. clustSIGNAL uses entropy to measure heterogeneity of cell neighbourhoods and
  performs a weighted, adaptive smoothing, where homogeneous neighbourhoods are smoothed
  more and heterogeneous neighbourhoods are smoothed less. This not only overcomes
  data sparsity but also incorporates spatial context into the gene expression data.
  The resulting smoothed gene expression data is used for clustering and could be
  used for other downstream analyses.'
