Step: Subset Groups

step_subset_groups.Rd

Subset the experiment to specific groups using the group column in sample information. This is useful when downstream steps require exactly two groups for comparison. Usually run after step_preprocess() and before DEA or enrichment steps.

This step requires exp (experiment data).

Usage

step_subset_groups(groups = NULL)

Arguments

groups

Group names to keep. If NULL, this step will be skipped.

Value

A glysmith_step object.

Details

Data required:

  • exp: The experiment to subset

Data generated:

  • full_exp: The original experiment before subsetting

This step overwrites exp in the context with the subset experiment.

Examples

step_subset_groups(groups = c("H", "C"))
#> <step "step_subset_groups(groups = c(\"H\", \"C\"))"> Subset groups
