Retrieve example datasets

Retrieves published example datasets stored in SingleCellExperiment using the scRNAseq and TENxPBMCData packages. See 'Details' for a list of available datasets.

importExampleData(
  dataset,
  class = c("Matrix", "matrix"),
  delayedArray = FALSE,
  rowNamesDedup = TRUE
)

Arguments

dataset	Character. Name of the dataset to retrieve.
class	Character. The class of the expression matrix stored in the SCE object. Can be one of "Matrix" or "matrix". "Matrix" will store the data as a sparse matrix from package Matrix while "matrix" will store the data in a standard matrix. Default "Matrix".
delayedArray	Boolean. Whether to read the expression matrix as DelayedArray object or not. Default FALSE.
rowNamesDedup	Boolean. Whether to deduplicate rownames. Default TRUE.

Value

The specified SingleCellExperiment object.
