Details#

You need to specifify which (cluster) column you want to annotate and you need to provide an annotation vector like this:

    1. identify the cell type of each cluster

  • 2. create a vector of these cell types, e.g. cell_types = c(‘T-cell’, ‘B-cell’, ‘Stromal’)

  • 3. provide original cluster names to previous vector, e.g. names(cell_types) = c(2, 1, 3)
