Transfer SpatialExperiment object to a Seurat object for preparation for DR.SC model fitting.

spe2seurat(spe, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

spe

a SpatialExperiment object, at least including the raw gene count expression matrix ans sptial coordinates.

verbose

an optional logical value, whether output the information.

Value

Return a Seurat object, where the spatial coordinates information is saved in the metadata of Seurat, named "row" and "col".

Examples

#' read in image data
