Co-Localization Scores

Currently, Cellar also supports cluster and protein co-localization scores which are computed via the adjacency score. These scores are shown as heatmaps and describe how well two clusters or proteins are co-localized in the spatial tile. Gene co-localization for Visium 10X spatial data is not currently supported.

We first construct a neighbors graph by using the spatial coordinates of each cell, and then feed this graph to the STvEA package to compute the adjacency score.
