Removes an assay from an scMethrix object — remove

Removes an assay from an scMethrix object

remove_assay(scm = NULL, assay = NULL)

Arguments

scm	`scMethrix`; the single cell methylation experiment
assay	string; name of an existing assay. Default = "score"

Value

An scMethrix object

Details

This will remove an assay from the scMethrix experiment object. All transformed assays may be removed, as well as the coverage assay (since it is less useful when compared to normal WGBS data), but the score assay cannot be removed. Reduced dimensionality data will be retained even if the parent assay is removed.

Examples
