You can add additional gene metadata in two manners:

Provide a data.table or data.frame with gene annotations in the same order as the gene_ID column in fDataDT(gobject). +*9
Provide a data.table or data.frame with gene annotations and specify which column contains the gene IDs. These gene IDs need to match with the gene_ID column in fDataDT(gobject).
