Number of molecules — nGenes • SPATA2

Returns the number of molecules in the raw count matrix of the chosen assay.

nGenes(object)

nMolecules(object, assay_name = activeAssay(object))

nMetabolites(object)

nProteins(object)

Arguments

object: An object of class SPATA2 or, in case of S4 generics, objects of classes for which a method has been defined.
assay_name: Only relevant if the SPATA2 object contains more than one assay: Denotes the assay of interest and thus the molecular modality to use. Defaults to the active assay as set by activateAssay().

Value

Numeric value.

Details

The functions nGenes(), nProteins(), nMetabolites() are wrappers for objects that contain the corresponding molecular modality and do not have an assay_name argument.
