Title: DESpace: a framework to discover spatially variable genes and
        differential spatial patterns across conditions
Version: 2.3.2
Description: Intuitive framework for identifying spatially variable
        genes (SVGs) and differential spatial variable pattern (DSP)
        between conditions via edgeR, a popular method for performing
        differential expression analyses. Based on pre-annotated
        spatial clusters as summarized spatial information, DESpace
        models gene expression using a negative binomial (NB), via
        edgeR, with spatial clusters as covariates. SVGs are then
        identified by testing the significance of spatial clusters. For
        multi-sample, multi-condition datasets, we again fit a NB model
        via edgeR, incorporating spatial clusters, conditions and their
        interactions as covariates. DSP genes-representing differences
        in spatial gene expression patterns across experimental
        conditions-are identified by testing the interaction between
        spatial clusters and conditions.
