This is the development version of SpatialExperiment; for the stable release version, see SpatialExperiment.

S4 Class for Spatially Resolved -omics Data

Bioconductor version: Development (3.18)

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.
