Build SummarizedExperiment using a Seurat object

Usage

dataset_seurat(
  seurat_obj,
  count_assay,
  cell_id_col,
  cell_type_col,
  tpm_assay = NULL,
  name = "SimBu_dataset",
  spike_in_col = NULL,
  additional_cols = NULL,
  filter_genes = TRUE,
  variance_cutoff = 0,
  type_abundance_cutoff = 0,
  scale_tpm = TRUE
)

Arguments

seurat_obj: (mandatory) Seurat object with TPM counts
count_assay: (mandatory) name of assay in Seurat object which contains count data in 'counts' slot
cell_id_col: (mandatory) name of column in Seurat meta.data with unique cell ids
cell_type_col: (mandatory) name of column in Seurat meta.data with cell type name
tpm_assay: name of assay in Seurat object which contains TPM data in 'counts' slot
name: name of the dataset; will be used for new unique IDs of cells
spike_in_col: which column in annotation contains information on spike_in counts, which can be used to re-scale counts; mandatory for spike_in scaling factor in simulation
additional_cols: list of column names in annotation, that should be stored as well in dataset object
filter_genes: boolean, if TRUE, removes all genes with 0 expression over all samples & genes with variance below variance_cutoff
variance_cutoff: numeric, is only applied if filter_genes is TRUE: removes all genes with variance below the chosen cutoff
type_abundance_cutoff: numeric, remove all cells, whose cell-type appears less then the given value. This removes low abundant cell-types
scale_tpm: boolean, if TRUE (default) the cells in tpm_matrix will be scaled to sum up to 1e6

Value

Return a SummarizedExperiment object
