Levine_32dim | R Documentation |
Mass cytometry (CyTOF) dataset from Levine et al. (2015), containing 32 dimensions (surface protein markers). Manually gated cell population labels are available for 14 populations. Cells are human bone marrow cells from 2 healthy donors. This dataset can be used to benchmark clustering algorithms.

This is a 32-dimensional mass cytometry (CyTOF) data set, consisting of expression levels of 32 surface marker proteins. Cell population labels are available for 14 manually gated populations. Cells are human bone marrow cells from 2 healthy donors. Manually gated cell population labels were provided by the original authors.
This dataset can be used to benchmark clustering algorithms.
The dataset contains cells from 2 patients ('H1' and 'H2'); a total of 265,627 cells (104,184 manually gated and 161,443 unclassified); 14 manually gated cell population IDs (as well as 'unassigned'); and a total of 32 surface marker proteins.
The dataset is provided in two Bioconductor object formats: SummarizedExperiment
and flowSet
. In each case, cells are stored in rows, and protein markers in
columns (this is the usual format used for flow and mass cytometry data).
For the link{SummarizedExperiment}
, row and column metadata can be accessed with the
rowData
and colData
accessor functions from the
SummarizedExperiment
package. The row data contains patient IDs and manually gated
cell population IDs. The column data contains channel names, protein marker names, and a
factor marker_class
to identify the class of each protein marker ('cell type', 'cell state',
as well as 'none' for any non protein marker columns that are not needed for downstream analyses;
for this dataset, all proteins are cell type markers). The expression values for each cell can be
accessed with assay
. The expression values are formatted as a single table.
For the flowSet
, the expression values are stored in a separate table for each
sample. Each sample is represented by one flowFrame
object within the overall
flowSet
. The expression values can be accessed with the exprs
function from the
flowCore
package. Row metadata is stored as additional columns of data within
the flowFrame
for each sample; note that factor values are converted to numeric values,
since the expression tables must be numeric matrices. Channel names are stored in the column names
of the expression tables. Additional row and column metadata is stored in the description
slots, which can be accessed with the description
accessor function for the
individual flowFrames
; this includes additional sample information (where available),
marker information, and cell population information.
Prior to performing any downstream analyses, the expression values should be transformed.
A standard transformation used for mass cytometry data is the asinh
with
cofactor = 5
.
