The SpatialExperiment class is an R/Bioconductor S4 class for storing
data from spatial -omics experiments. The class
extends the SingleCellExperiment class for single-cell data 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.
The following schematic illustrates the SpatialExperiment class
structure.
