Source: R/seurat.R

Get and set feature and cell inames in Seurat objects

# S3 method for class 'Seurat'
dimnames(x)

# S3 method for class 'Seurat'
dimnames(x) <- value

Arguments

x

A Seurat object

value

A two-length list with updated feature and/or cells names

Value

dimnames: A two-length list with the following values:

  • A character vector with all features in the default assay

  • A character vector with all cells in x

dimnames<-: x with the feature and/or cell names updated to value
