Bins multiple m/z values into one.

This function is a helper function for BinMetabolites.

Usage

bin.mz(
  data,
  mz_list,
  assay = "Spatial",
  slot = "counts",
  stored.in.metadata = FALSE
)

data: Seurat Spatial Metabolomic object containing mz values
mz_list: Vector of m/z names to be binned into one value
assay: Character string indicating which Seurat object assay to pull data form (default = "Spatial").
slot: Character string indicating the assay slot to use to pull expression values form (default = "counts").
stored.in.metadata: Boolean value indicating if the mz_list should be searched in the metadata DataFrame. If FALSE searches in Seurat object assay slot, if TRUE searches in metadata slot (default = FALSE).

Vector of binned mz counts for each spot/pixel

# mz_values <- plusminus(SeuratObj, 448.2, 0.05)
# bin.mz(SeuratObj, mz_values)
