-### Downstream Analysis +### Sample Downstream Analysis -We will highlight spatial variable gene (SVG) and cell-type cooccurrence analyses as examples of downstream analysis that benefit from SEraster. +`SEraster` returns rasteriezd gene-expression and cell-type information as `SpatialExperiment` objects that can be integrated with other existing downstream analysis tools. We demonstrate below spatial variable gene (SVG) and cell-type cooccurrence analyses as examples of such potential downstream analysis. #### Spatial variable gene (SVG) analysis
