Usage

update_molecule_names(data, old, new)

Arguments

data	LipidomicsExperiment object.
old	A character vector of the molecule names to be renamed.
new	A character vector of the new molecule names.

Value

A LipidomicsExperiment object with molecules name and annotation updated.

Examples

data(data_normalized)
old_names <- rowData(data_normalized)$Molecule
# replace PCO with plasmenylPC
new_names <- sub("^LPE", "LysoPE", old_names)
