Filter out gene clusters containing few genes

Source: R/filter_gene_clusters.R

This function filters out gene clusters from a ClusterSet object based on their size.

filter_cluster_size(object = NULL, min_cluster_size = 5)

Arguments

object

A ClusterSet object.

min_cluster_size

An integer indicating the minimum size for a clusters to be kept.

Value

A ClusterSet object where clusters not passing the filter have been removed.
