Arguments

seMarker	A `SummarizedExperiment` object returned by `getMarkerFeatures()`.
cutOff	A valid-syntax logical statement that defines which marker features from `seMarker` will be plotted in the heatmap. `cutoff` can contain any of the `assayNames` from `seMarker`.
log2Norm	A boolean value indicating whether a log2 transformation should be performed on the values in `seMarker` prior to plotting. Should be set to `TRUE` for counts-based assays (but not assays like "DeviationsMatrix").
scaleTo	Each column in the assay Mean from `seMarker` will be normalized to a column sum designated by `scaleTo` prior to log2 normalization. If log2Norm is `FALSE` this option has no effect.
scaleRows	A boolean value that indicates whether the heatmap should display row-wise z-scores instead of raw values.
limits	A numeric vector of two numbers that represent the lower and upper limits of the heatmap color scheme.
grepExclude	A character vector or string that indicates the `rownames` or a specific pattern that identifies rownames from `seMarker` to be excluded from the heatmap.
pal	A custom continuous palette from `ArchRPalettes` (see `paletteContinuous()`) used to override the default continuous palette for the heatmap.
binaryClusterRows	A boolean value that indicates whether a binary sorting algorithm should be used for fast clustering of heatmap rows.
clusterCols	A boolean value that indicates whether the columns of the marker heatmap should be clustered.
labelMarkers	A character vector listing the `rownames` of `seMarker` that should be labeled on the side of the heatmap.
nLabel	An integer value that indicates whether the top `n` features for each column in `seMarker` should be labeled on the side of the heatmap.
nPrint	If provided `seMarker` is from "GeneScoreMatrix" print the top n genes for each group based on how uniquely up-regulated the gene is.
labelRows	A boolean value that indicates whether all rows should be labeled on the side of the heatmap.
returnMatrix	A boolean value that indicates whether the final heatmap matrix should be returned in lieu of plotting the actual heatmap.
transpose	A boolean value that indicates whether the heatmap should be transposed prior to plotting or returning.
invert	A boolean value that indicates whether the heatmap will display the features with the lowest `log2(fold change)`. In this case, the heatmap will display features that are specifically lower in the given cell group compared to all other cell groups. Additionally, the color palette is inverted for visualization. This is useful when looking for down-regulated markers (`log2(fold change) < 0`) instead of up-regulated markers (`log2(fold change) > 0`).
logFile	The path to a file to be used for logging ArchR output.
