+#' files provided by DRAGEN. A vector or named vector can be given in order to load
+#' several data directories. If a named vector is given, the cell barcode names
+#' will be prefixed with the name.
+#' @param gene.column Specify which column of genes.tsv or features.tsv to use for gene names; default is 2
+#' @param cell.column Specify which column of barcodes.tsv to use for cell names; default is 1
+#' @param unique.features Make feature names unique (default TRUE)
+#' @param strip.suffix Remove trailing "-1" if present in all cell barcodes.
+#'
+#' @return If features.csv indicates the data has multiple data types, a list
+#'   containing a sparse matrix of the data from each type will be returned.
+#'   Otherwise a sparse matrix containing the expression data will be returned.
