abstract: SEraster is a rasterization preprocessing framework that aggregates cellular
  information into spatial pixels to reduce resource requirements for spatial omics
  data analysis. SEraster reduces the number of spatial points in spatial omics datasets
  for downstream analysis through a process of rasterization where single cells’ gene
  expression or cell-type labels are aggregated into equally sized pixels based on
  a user-defined resolution. SEraster is built on an R/Bioconductor S4 class called
  SpatialExperiment. SEraster can be incorporated with other packages to conduct downstream
  analyses for spatial omics datasets, such as detecting spatially variable genes.
