In Signac: Analysis of Single-Cell Chromatin Data

Run chromVAR

Description

Wrapper to run chromVAR on an assay with a motif object present. Will return a new Seurat assay with the motif activities (the deviations in chromatin accessibility across the set of regions) as a new assay.

Usage

RunChromVAR(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'ChromatinAssay'
RunChromVAR(object, genome, motif.matrix = NULL, verbose = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Seurat'
RunChromVAR(
  object,
  genome,
  motif.matrix = NULL,
  assay = NULL,
  new.assay.name = "chromvar",
  ...
)

Arguments

object	A Seurat object
...	Additional arguments passed to getBackgroundPeaks
genome	A BSgenome object or string stating the genome build recognized by getBSgenome.
motif.matrix	A peak x motif matrix. If NULL, pull the peak x motif matrix from a Motif object stored in the assay.
verbose	Display messages
assay	Name of assay to use
new.assay.name	Name of new assay used to store the chromVAR results. Default is "chromvar".

Details

Value

Returns a Seurat object with a new assay
