You can add additional gene metadata in two manners: 1. Provide a data.table or data.frame with gene annotations in the same order as the gene_ID column in fDataDT(gobject) 2. Provide a data.table or data.frame with gene annotations and specify which column contains the gene IDs, these gene IDs need to match with the gene_ID column in fDataDT(gobject)
