Hi @drighelli , All of my functions in #144 - `readXenium`, `readCosMx`, and `readMerscope` - do not include image loading. Because these technologies do not really support automated H&E generation...

Following @drisso 's discussion on access to the cell boundaries and transcript-level data like in the `MerfishData` package, another idea from Seurat is they used package `[sp](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sp/index.html)` to store boundaries...

Seurat, MerfishData, and SpatialFeatureExperiment are all trying to include more information than cell-level SPE, but the boundaries and molecules are stored as different class and at different places in these...

Hi @lgeistlinger, Yes, I am open to rename the package to `SpatialExperimentIO`. Another small thing I would add is also to directly return `SingleCellExperiment` class and store the spatial coordinates...

Thanks @drisso and @drighelli . I have messaged you on Bioconductor slack for the Xenium preprint ExperimentHub package. We had a call with 10x Genomics yesterday, and they agreed with...

@lmweber Hi Lukas, would you like to review? -- Thanks, Estella :D

Hi @lmweber , Thank you for initiating the discussion! Sorry for the late reply as I was on vacation. I agree with you on moving these to a new package....

Hi @drighelli Thank you for your upcoming pull request! I am making some final updates before submitting them to Bioc before the deadline tomorrow. I will let you know when...

Dear Lori @lshep and Dario @DarioS, I am very sorry for my delayed response. Had some intense months with my PhD, and now I have addressed all the comments Dario...

Hi Vince @vjcitn , Nice to hear from you! `SpatialExperimentIO` is created under the discussion threads at https://github.com/drighelli/SpatialExperiment/issues/126. and https://github.com/drighelli/SpatialExperiment/pull/144 Indeed, I have noticed `SpatialFeatureExperiment` allows the coercion to SPE...
