addCellIntMetadata

Description

Creates an additional metadata column with information about interacting and non-interacting cell types of the

selected cell-cell interaction.

Usage

addCellIntMetadata(
  gobject,
  feat_type = NULL,
  spat_unit = NULL,
  spatial_network = "spatial_network",
  cluster_column,
  cell_interaction,
  name = "select_int",
  return_gobject = TRUE
)

Arguments

Argument	Description
gobject	giotto object
feat_type	feature type
spat_unit	spatial unit
spatial_network	name of spatial network to use
cluster_column	column of cell types
cell_interaction	cell-cell interaction to use
name	name for the new metadata column
return_gobject	return an updated giotto object

Details

This function will create an additional metadata column which selects interacting cell types for a specific cell-cell

interaction. For example, if you want to color interacting astrocytes and oligodendrocytes it will create a new metadata column with the values “select_astrocytes”, “select_oligodendrocytes”, “other_astrocytes”, “other_oligodendroyctes” and “other”. Where “other” is all other cell types found within the selected cell type column.

Value

Giotto object
