Description
I just noted that there is already a function `scran::clusterCells()` which does almost everything we do with `cluster_sce()`, with the exception being saving the results back to a separate SCE object.
Since we can add the cluster info with a line like:
```
sce$clusters <- scran::clusterCells(
sce,
use.dimred = "PCA",
BLUSPARAM=NNGraphParam(k=15)
)
```
are we sure we need our own version of the function?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating scpcaTools' cluster_sce() and comparing its behavior with scran::clusterCells(), especially the separate SCE result mentioned in the issue. Review the two existing comments and determine whether the project should retain, replace, or remove the wrapper; done means the decision and resulting scope are documented.
