cb_url

URL of cellbrowser dataset (e.g. http://cells.ucsc.edu/?ds=cortex-dev). Note that the URL must contain the ds=dataset-name suffix.

cluster_col

annotation field for summarizing gene expression (e.g. clustering, cell-type name, samples, etc.)

...

additional args passed to average_clusters

Value

reference matrix

Examples

## Not run: 

# many datasets hosted by UCSC have UMI counts in the expression matrix
# set if_log = FALSE if the expression matrix has not been natural log transformed
