Remove TCR and BCR genes from variable gene results

Most single-cell workflows use highly-expressed and highly-variable genes for the initial calculation of PCA and subsequent dimensional reduction. This function will remove the TCR and/or BCR genes from the variable features in a Seurat object or from a vector (potentially generated by the Bioconductor scran workflow).

quietVDJgenes(input.data, ...)

quietTCRgenes(input.data, ...)

# Default S3 method
quietTCRgenes(input.data, ...)

# S3 method for class 'Seurat'
quietTCRgenes(input.data, assay = NULL, ...)

quietBCRgenes(input.data, ...)

# Default S3 method
quietBCRgenes(input.data, ...)

# S3 method for class 'Seurat'
quietBCRgenes(input.data, assay = NULL, ...)

Arguments

input.data: Single-cell object in Seurat format or vector of variable genes to use in reduction
...: Reserved for future arguments
assay: The Seurat assay slot to use to remove immune receptor genes from, NULL value will default to the default assay

Value

Seurat object or vector list with TCR genes removed.
