Adds additional data to the object. Can be any piece of information associated with a cell (examples include read depth, alignment rate, experimental batch, or subpopulation identity) or feature (ENSG name, variance). To add cell level information, add to the Seurat object. If adding feature-level metadata, add to the Assay object (e.g. object[["RNA"]]))
