29 Selecting meta data category

In Ryabhatta, meta data information such as treatment and timepoint added to the Seurat object can be explored using the Select meta data dropdown list.

Meta data selection

The following meta data category names are removed from the list due to their use primarily in quality control and data processing steps or can be accessed using other buttons in the app.

“orig.ident”, “nCount_RNA”, “nFeature_RNA”, “nCount_SCT”, “nFeature_SCT”, “percent.mt”, “seurat_clusters”, “nGene”, “nUMI”, “percent.mito”, snn_res clustering values, .res clustering values

This reduces clutter in the meta data list. However, the meta data are NOT removed from the Seurat object itself. If the Seurat object is accessed through functions or other applications these meta data can be retrived from the object.
