In CATALYST: Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools

Welcome to CATALYST

CATALYST leverages existing R/Bioconductor infrastructure by building around Biocondcutor's SingleCellExperiment class, and by providing an interface for conversion to other data structures established in the cytometry community (e.g., flowCore's flowFrame/Set classes), thus facilitating communication with existing tools for visualization (e.g., ggcyto) and gating (e.g., openCyto). The package currently provides:

• an extensive suit of visualizations for differential discovery
• a pipeline for preprocessing of cytometry data, including
• normalization using bead standards
• single-cell deconvolution
• bead-based compensation
