Load data from PNA PXL file into a Seurat object

ReadPNA_Seurat.Rd

This function can be used to load data from a PXL file, and returns a Seurat object.

Usage

ReadPNA_Seurat(
  pxl_file,
  assay = "PNA",
  return_pna_assay = TRUE,
  load_proximity_scores = TRUE,
  calc_log2_ratio = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

pxl_file

Path to a PXL file

assay

Assay name

return_pna_assay

Logical specifying whether the count data should be stored in a PNAAssay/PNAAssay5. If set to FALSE, the count data will be stored in a Assay/Assay5 instead. For the latter case, many features provided in pixelatorR will be unavailable. This can be useful if you only intend to analyze the abundance data.

load_proximity_scores

Logical specifying whether the proximity scores should be loaded into the PNAAssay/PNAAssay5. If you only intend to analyze abundance data or PNA graphs, you can set this parameter to FALSE to use less memory. This parameter only have an effect if return_pna_assay = TRUE.

calc_log2_ratio

A logical specifying whether to calculate and add a log2ratio column to the output table. Default is TRUE

verbose

Additional parameters passed to CreateSeuratObject

Value

An object of class Seurat

Details

By default, the count matrix is returned in a PNAAssay object. If the global option Seurat.object.assay.version is set to "v5", the function will return a PNAAssay5 object instead.
