Arguments

Argument

Description

gobject

giotto object

name

name for new clustering result

cluster_method

clustering method to use

cluster_column

cluster column to subcluster

selected_clusters

only do subclustering on these clusters

hvg_param

parameters for calculateHVG

hvg_min_perc_cells

threshold for detection in min percentage of cells

hvg_mean_expr_det

threshold for mean expression level in cells with detection

use_all_genes_as_hvg

forces all genes to be HVG and to be used as input for PCA

min_nr_of_hvg

minimum number of HVG, or all genes will be used as input for PCA

pca_param

parameters for runPCA

nn_param

parameters for parameters for createNearestNetwork

k_neighbors

number of k for createNearestNetwork

resolution

resolution

n_iterations

number of interations to run the Leiden algorithm.

gamma

gamma

omega

omega

python_path

specify specific path to python if required

nn_network_to_use

type of NN network to use (kNN vs sNN)

network_name

name of NN network to use

return_gobject

boolean: return giotto object (default = TRUE)

verbose

verbose

Details

This function performs subclustering on selected clusters.

The systematic steps are:

    1. subset Giotto object

    1. identify highly variable genes

    1. run PCA

    1. create nearest neighbouring network

    1. do clustering

Value

giotto object with new subclusters appended to cell metadata
