abstract: This package addresses two broad areas. It allows for in-depth analysis
  of spatial transcriptomic data by identifying tissue neighbourhoods. These are contiguous
  regions of tissue surrounding individual cells. 'CatsCradle' allows for the categorisation
  of neighbourhoods by the cell types contained in them and the genes expressed in
  them. In particular, it produces Seurat objects whose individual elements are neighbourhoods
  rather than cells. In addition, it enables the categorisation and annotation of
  genes by producing Seurat objects whose elements are genes.
