row

A data frame row or vector to search for

Details

This function iterates through each row of the provided data frame and compares it with the target row using the all.equal function. The comparison ignores attributes to focus on the content of the data.

The function is particularly useful for finding specific mutations or cells in larger data frames when the exact row index is not known but the content is.
