return the unique rownames as character vecetor.R/miscFunctions.R
dedupRowNames.Rd
Deduplicate the rownames of a matrix or SingleCellExperiment object
Adds '-1', '-2', ... '-i' to multiple duplicated rownames, and in place
replace the unique rownames, store unique rownames in rowData
, or
return the unique rownames as character vecetor.
dedupRowNames(x, as.rowData = FALSE, return.list = FALSE)
A matrix like or /linkS4classSingleCellExperiment object, on which
we can apply rownames()
to and has duplicated rownames.
Only applicable when x
is a
/linkS4classSingleCellExperiment object. When set to TRUE
, will
insert a new column called "rownames.uniq"
to rowData(x)
, with
the deduplicated rownames.
When set to TRUE
, will return a character vector
of the deduplicated rownames.
By default, a matrix or /linkS4classSingleCellExperiment object
with rownames deduplicated.
When x
is a /linkS4classSingleCellExperiment and as.rowData
is set to TRUE
, will return x
with rowData
updated.
When return.list
is set to TRUE
, will return a character vector
with the deduplicated rownames.
