get_paren {flowGraph} | R Documentation

## Gets parent populations of given cell populations

### Description

Gets the parent populations of a vector of given cell `childs` and updates `pparen` the edge list if edge list doesn't contain the requested information.

### Usage

    get_paren(childs, pparen, pc__i, ac_, meta_cell_)

### Arguments

`childs` | Character vector of cell population phenotypes.
`pparen` | Edge list where the name of the list is the cell population and the vector in each element contains the parent cell populations of the named cell population.
`pc__i` | A cell population x marker matrix where the values are 0/1/2/... correspondng to marker conditions /-/+/...; this is for the possible CHILD cell populations.
`ac_` | A list where the elements are marker index > "0"/"1"/"2"/... > a logical vector the same length as the number of cell population phenotypes indicating whether or not the marker condition exists in them; this is for the possible PARENT cell populations.
`meta_cell_` | data frame with meta data for cell population phenotypes from the flowGraph object; this is for the possible PARENT cell populations.

### Value

A list containing parent populations of `childs`; also globally updates `pparen`.
