CytoML for cross-platform cytometry data sharing.

ABSTRACT: CytoML is an R/Bioconductor package that enables cross-platform import, export, and sharing of gated cytometry data. It currently supports Cytobank, FlowJo, Diva, and R, allowing users to import gated cytometry data from commercial platforms into R. Once data are available in R, the data can be further manipulated. For example it can be combined with other computational and analytic approaches, and the results can be exported to FlowJo or Cytobank to be explored by researchers using those platforms. We demonstrate how CytoML and related R packages can be used as a tool to import, modify and export several samples stained with the T cell panel from the FlowCAP IV Lyoplate data set. Once imported, the gating is modified using computational approaches, and exported for visualization in Cytoba
