SpotClean adjusts for spot swapping in spatial transcriptomics data

Spatial transcriptomics experiments profile genome-wide gene expression at localized spots across a tissue. Here, the authors identify spot swapping, an artifact where RNA expressed at one tissue spot binds probes at another, and they propose SpotClean to adjust for it.
