anonymizeMarkers(
  ff,

  newMarkerNames,
  toUpdateKeywords = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

ff

a flowCore::flowFrame

the marker names to be amended, or alternatively, the channel names for which to update the marker names

newMarkerNames

data(OMIP021Samples)

retFF <- anonymizeMarkers(OMIP021Samples[[1]],
                          oldMarkerNames = c("FSC-A","BV785 - CD3"),
                          newMarkerName = c("Fwd Scatter-A", "CD3"),
                          toUpdateKeywords = list(
                              "EXPERIMENT NAME" = "MyExperiment"))
