Endomorphically merge assays within a LongTable or inheriting class

Endomorphically merge assays within a LongTable or inheriting class

Usage

# S4 method for LongTable
mergeAssays(object, x, y, target = x, ..., metadata = FALSE)

object: A LongTable or inheriting class.
x: character(1) A valid assay name in object.
y: character(1) A valid assay name in object.
target: character(1) Name of the assay to assign the result to. Can be a new or existing assay. Defaults to x.
...: Fallthrough arguments to merge.data.table to specify the join type. Use this to specify which columns to merge on. If excluded, defaults to by=assayKeys(objecty, y).
metadata: logical A logical vector indicating whether to attach metadata to either assay before the merge occurs. If only one value is passed that value is used for both assays. Defaults to FALSE.

A copy of object with assays x and y merged and assigned to target.
