How does FindVariableFeatures() find a consensus in Seurat V5?

[lebelm]

Hello,

I am running the Seurat pipeline on several samples grouped in a Seurat V5 object (I plan to integrate later), as described in the Seurat Vignette.
It mentions that the HVG selection is done by FindVariableFeatures(), which runs HVG selection on each sample independently before returning a consensus.

I've been wondering for some time how is this consensus established ?
Neither the vignette nor the manual give any more details, and I could find the function in the Seurat github when I tried to look into the code.

Anymore information would be greatly appreciated :) !
