Description: SpotClean is a computational method to adjust for spot
        swapping in spatial transcriptomics data. Recent spatial
        transcriptomics experiments utilize slides containing thousands
        of spots with spot-specific barcodes that bind mRNA. Ideally,
        unique molecular identifiers at a spot measure spot-specific
        expression, but this is often not the case due to bleed from
        nearby spots, an artifact we refer to as spot swapping.
        SpotClean is able to estimate the contamination rate in
        observed data and decontaminate the spot swapping effect, thus
        increase the sensitivity and precision of downstream analyses.
