This function checks and preprocesses a list of Seurat
objects.
It performs various checks on the input, including verification of input types,
assay type consistency, feature name consistency, and batch column consistency.
It also performs data normalization and variable feature finding based on the specified parameters.
Finally, it prepares the data for integration analysis based on the highly variable features.

Arguments
- srt_list
A list of
Seurat
objects to be checked and preprocessed.- batch
A character string specifying the batch variable name.
- assay
The name of the assay to be used for downstream analysis.
- do_normalization
Whether data normalization should be performed. Default is
TRUE
