)Arguments
- srt
- A Seurat object containing the results of RunDEtest and RunGSEA. If specified, GSEA results will be extracted from the Seurat object automatically. If not specified, the - resarguments must be provided.

- test.use
- A character vector specifying the test to be used in differential expression analysis. This argument is only used if - srtis specified.
