Given a list of cells to ignore, this will cancel any previous policy for blacklisting and remove the given cells to the ignore_mat. Downstream algorithm usually ignore these cells altogether, for any purpose including normalization. However, ignored cells can be accessed and analyzed seperately for validation/tests or when they represent some relevant biology (e.g. cell cycle)

scm_ignore_cells(scmat, ig_cells, reverse = FALSE)

Arguments

scmat

the matrix object

reverse

false by default, if this is true the set of cells to ingore is the complement of the given list

ig_cell

a list of cell names to ignore
