abstract: Spatial transcriptomics iterative hierarchical clustering ('stIHC'), is
  a method for identifying spatial gene co-expression modules, defined as groups of
  genes with shared spatial expression patterns. The method is applicable across spatial
  transcriptomics technologies with differing spatial resolution, and provides a framework
  for investigating the spatial organisation of gene expression in tissues. For further
  details, see Higgins C., Li J.J., Carey M. <https://doi.org/10.1002/qub2.70011>.
