mergeSCEColData {singleCellTK} | R Documentation

## Merging colData from two singleCellExperiment objects

### Description

Merges colData of the singleCellExperiment objects obtained from the same dataset which contain differing colData. (i.e. raw data and filtered data)

### Usage

    mergeSCEColData(inSCE1, inSCE2, id1 = "column_name", id2 = "column_name")

### Arguments

`inSCE1` | Input SingleCellExperiment object. The function will output this singleCellExperiment object with a combined colData from inSCE1 and inSCE2.
`inSCE2` | Input SingleCellExperiment object. colData from this object will be merged with colData from inSCE1 and loaded into inSCE1.
`id1` | Character vector. Column in colData of inSCE1 that will be used to combine inSCE1 and inSCE2. Default "column_name"
`id2` | Character vector. Column in colData of inSCE2 that will be used to combine inSCE1 and inSCE2. Default "column_name"

### Value

SingleCellExperiment object containing combined colData from both singleCellExperiment for samples in inSCE1.

### Examples

    sce1 <- importCellRanger(
        cellRangerDirs = system.file("extdata/", package = "singleCellTK"),
        sampleDirs = "hgmm_1k_v3_20x20",
        sampleNames = "hgmm1kv3",
        dataType = "filtered")
    data(scExample)
    sce2 <- sce
    sce <- mergeSCEColData(inSCE1 = sce1, inSCE2 = sce2, id1 = "column_name", id2 = "column_name")
