sample_col

A column name specifying which column should be used to specify sample names.

source_col

A column name specifying which group or the source the sample is from.

• Sample name - a unique identifier for each sample

• Sample source - a grouping ID indicating what 'source' the sample is from This is used for plotting to separate comparative 'sources' to your own samples.

Value

A tibble, formatted for use in downstream cuperdec functions.

data(cuperdec_metadata_ex)
metadata_table <- load_map(cuperdec_metadata_ex,
