Details

You can add additional cell metadata in two manners:

  • 1. Provide a data.table or data.frame with cell annotations in the same order as the cell_ID column in pDataDT(gobject)

  • 2. Provide a data.table or data.frame with cell annotations and specificy which column contains the cell IDs, these cell IDs need to match with the cell_ID column in pDataDT(gobject)
