Usage

scSubjects(scExp, ...)

Arguments

scExp	SingleCellExperiment object containing (at minimum) gene counts and column metadata describing sample identifiers and cell types.
...	Named metadata variables for subjects and cell types.

Value

List of character vectors with unique values from SingleCellExperiment column metadata variables.

Examples

## Examples of metadata column variable names.
names(SummarizedExperiment::colData(small_airway))

## Return list of subject and cell type values from experiment metadata.
