Re-organize HiTObject, e.g. to enable merging of merged HiTObject and subsetting based on metadata (see here for current workaround to subset HiTObject for downstream analysis)

[halterc]

Just to keep track.
Long-term enhancement.

As a current workaround for subsetting, copy your merged HiTObject and drop the metadata rows (=samples) that you don't want in your HiT_summary. For example:

my_merged_HiTObject <- merge.HiTObjects(HiTObject_list)
scores <- get.cluster.score(my_merged_HiTObject, cluster.by = c("my_condition_column"))
summarized_scores <- summarize.cluster.scores(scores)

HO_subset <- my_merged_HiTObject
HO_subset <- HO_subset@metadata[1:10, ]
scores_subset <- get.cluster.score(HO_subset, cluster.by = c("my_condition_column"))
summarized_scores_subset <- summarize.cluster.scores(scores_subset)
