Specify custom genes/features #78

Closed royfrancis closed 6 years ago

royfrancis commented 6 years ago

It's not very clear to me where is the sc3 workflow the feature selection happens. I have a list of highly variable genes that I would like to use for the sc3 clustering. Where/when do I specify this? Thanks.

Hi, yes, you can manually define genes that you want to use for clustering by setting the sc3_gene_filter column of the rowData slot. See some more description here. You can do:

rowData(sce)$sc3_gene_filter <- ... (a boolean vector with the selected genes corresponding to TRUE)
