GetMostVarGenes: Retrieve the Top Variable Genes from a Seurat Object

In vertesy/Seurat.utils: Seurat.utils - utility functions for Seurat

Retrieve the Top Variable Genes from a Seurat Object

Description

Retrieves the names of the most variable genes from a Seurat object, typically used to focus subsequent analyses on genes with the greatest variation across cells.

Usage

GetMostVarGenes(obj, nGenes = p$nVarGenes)

Arguments

obj	A Seurat object containing gene expression data and, pre-computed highly variable gene information.
nGenes	The number of most variable genes to retrieve. Default: p$nVarGenes.

Value

A vector containing the names of the most variable genes.

Examples

## Not run: 
if (interactive()) {
  # Assuming `combined.obj` is a Seurat object with computed variable genes
  varGenes <- GetMostVarGenes(obj = combined.obj, nGenes = 100)
}

## End(Not run)
