merge.Assay: Merge Assays

In SeuratObject: Data Structures for Single Cell Data

Merge Assays

Description

Merge one or more v3 assays together

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Assay'
merge(
  x = NULL,
  y = NULL,
  add.cell.ids = NULL,
  merge.data = TRUE,
  labels = NULL,
  collapse = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	An Assay object
y	One or more Assay objects
add.cell.ids	A character vector of length(x = c(x, y)); appends the corresponding values to the start of each objects' cell names
merge.data	Merge the data slots instead of just merging the counts (which requires renormalization); this is recommended if the same normalization approach was applied to all objects
labels, collapse	Currently unused
...	Ignored

Value

A new assay with data merged from c(x, y)
