I would like to use filterFeatures on only one or a subset of selected assays in a QF object. If I understand the function and documentation correctly this is not possible and filterFeatures currently by default goes through each assay of the QF object and filters all assays?
To achieve filtering on only, say one specific assay, I guess my only option (if I want to make use of filterFeatures function and not do this in manually) is to make a copy of the QF, run filterFeatures, extract my assay, then add back to the original using addAssay?
Would you consider setting a way to allow users to select the assay(s) to run the filtering on?
