flowFP: Fingerprinting for Flow Cytometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract Background A new software package called flowFP for the analysis of flow cytometry data is introduced. The package, which is tightly integrated with other Bioconductor software for analysis of flow cytometry, provides tools to transform raw flow cytometry data into a form suitable for direct input into conventional statistical analysis and empirical modeling software tools. The approach of flowFP is to generate a description of the multivariate probability distribution function of flow cytometry data in the form of a “fingerprint”. As such, it is independent of a presumptive functional form for the distribution, in contrast with model-based methods such as Gaussian Mixture Modeling. flowFP is computationally efficient, and able to handle extremely large flow cytometry data sets of arbitrary dimensionality. Algorithms and software implementation of the package are described.

متن کاملCytometric fingerprints: evaluation of new tools for analyzing microbial community dynamics
Optical characteristics of individual bacterial cells of natural communities can be measured with flow cytometry (FCM) in high throughput. The resulting data are visualized in cytometric histograms. These histograms represent individual cytometric fingerprints of microbial communities, e.g., at certain time points or microenvironmental conditions. Up to now four tools for analyzing the variatio...

Manual gating of bivariate plots remains the most frequently used data analysis method in flow cytometry. However, gating is operator-dependent and cumbersome, particularly with the increasing complexity of modern multicolor immunophenotyping data. A method that can remove operator bias, enable systematic and thorough analysis of complex high-dimensional data, correlate temporal changes in diff...
