cuperdec (version 1.1.0)

load_map: Load metadata table

Description

Loads a metadata table and reformats it for downstream analysis. This needs to include at minimum two columns: sample name, and sample source.

Usage

load_map(x, sample_col, source_col)

Arguments

x

Path to a TSV file or tidy dataframe (e.g. tibble) with a column containing sample names and other grouping metadata columns.

sample_col

A column name specifying which column should be used to specify sample names.

source_col

A column name specifying which group or the source the sample is from.

Value

A tibble, formatted for use in downstream cuperdec functions.

Details

The two columns required need to include the following information:

• Sample name - a unique identifier for each sample

• Sample source - a grouping ID indicating what 'source' the sample is from This is used for plotting to separate comparative 'sources' to your own samples.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(cuperdec_metadata_ex)
metadata_table <- load_map(cuperdec_metadata_ex,
  sample_col = "#SampleID",
  source_col = "Env"
)
# }
