Assay ObjectThe v5 Assay is the typical Assay class used in Seurat
v5; ...
layersA named list containing expression matrices; each matrix should
be a two-dimensional object containing some subset of cells and features
defined in the cells and features slots. Cell and feature
membership is recorded in the cells and features slots,
respectively
cellsA logical mapping of cell names and layer membership; this map contains all the possible cells that this assay can contain. New layers must have some subset of cells present in this map
featuresA logical mapping of feature names and layer membership; this map contains all the possible features that this assay can contain. New layers must have some subset of features present in this map
defaultA one-length integer with the end index of the
default layer; the default layer be
all layers up to and including the layer at index default
assay.origOriginal assay that this assay is based off of; used to track assay provenance
meta.dataA data frame with feature-level
meta data; should have the same number of rows as features
miscA named list of unstructured miscellaneous data
keyA one-length character vector with the object's key; keys must
be one or more alphanumeric characters followed by an underscore
“_” (regex pattern
“SeuratObject:::.KeyPattern()”)
