SpotSweeper - Spatially-aware quality control for spatial transcriptomics

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. Scales linearly with the number of spots and is designed to be used with 'SpatialExperiment' objects.
