abstract: 'The spatialHeatmap package offers the primary functionality for visualizing
  cell-, tissue- and organ-specific assay data in spatial anatomical images. Additionally,
  it provides extended functionalities for large-scale data mining routines and co-visualizing
  bulk and single-cell data. A description of the project is available here: https://spatialheatmap.org.'
