Chapter 11 Identifying Marker Peaks with ArchR
We have introduced the identification of marker features previously in the chapter discussing gene scores. The same function (getMarkerFeatures()
) can be used to identify marker features from any matrix stored in an ArchRProject
. Marker features are features that are unique to a specific cell grouping. These can be very useful in understanding cluster- or cell type-specific biology. In this chapter, we will discuss how to use this function to identify marker peaks.
