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

scm_ignore_genes(scmat, ig_genes, reverse = FALSE)

Arguments

scmat

the matrix object

reverse

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

ig_gene

a list of gene names to ignore
