Rename cells
Change the cell names in all the different parts of an object. Can be useful before combining multiple objects.
RenameCells(object, ...) ## S3 method for class 'Assay' RenameCells(object, new.names = NULL, ...) ## S3 method for class 'DimReduc' RenameCells(object, new.names = NULL, ...) ## S3 method for class 'Neighbor' RenameCells(object, old.names = NULL, new.names = NULL, ...) ## S3 method for class 'Seurat' RenameCells( object, add.cell.id = NULL, new.names = NULL, for.merge = FALSE, ... )
object |
An object |
... |
Arguments passed to other methods |
new.names |
vector of new cell names |
old.names |
vector of old cell names |
add.cell.id |
prefix to add cell names |
for.merge |
Only rename slots needed for merging Seurat objects. Currently only renames the raw.data and meta.data slots. |
If add.cell.id is set a prefix is added to existing cell names. If
new.names is set these will be used to replace existing names.
