fix_celltype_names: Fix celltype names

In NathanSkene/EWCE: Expression Weighted Celltype Enrichment

Fix celltype names

Description

Make sure celltypes don't contain characters that could interfere with downstream analyses. For example, the R package MAGMA.Celltyping cannot have spaces in celltype names because spaces are used as a delimiter in later steps.

Usage

fix_celltype_names(
  celltypes,
  replace_chars = "[-]|[.]|[ ]|[//]|[\\/]",
  make_unique = TRUE
)

Arguments

celltypes	Character vector of celltype names.
replace_chars	Regex string of characters to replace with "_" when renaming columns.
make_unique	Make all entries unique.

Value

Fixed celltype names.

Examples

ct <- c("microglia", "astryocytes", "Pyramidal SS")
ct_fixed <- fix_celltype_names(celltypes = ct)
