FlowJo
FlowJo, your flow cytometry data analysis software, is dedicated to helping you speed up routine phenotyping, elevate your immunology research, and efficiently transform data into results—one cell at a time.
R-based Pipeline (cyCONDOR)
We developed an easy-to-use computational framework (cyCONDOR) covering not only all of the essential steps of cytometry data analysis but also including an array of downstream functions and tools to expand the biological interpretation of the data. condor's comprehensive suite of features, including guided pre-processing, clustering, dimensionality reduction, and machine learning algorithms, facilitates the seamless integration of condor into clinically relevant settings, where scalability and disease classification are paramount for the widespread adoption of HDC in clinical practice. Additionally, condor's advanced analytical features, such as pseudotime analysis and batch integration, provide researchers with the tools to extract deeper insights from their data. We used condor on a variety of data from different tissues and technologies demonstrating its versatility to assist the analysis of high dimensionality data from preprocessing to biological interpretation.
Python Based Automated Gating (ConvexGating)
Manual expert gating remains common practice for the definition of specific cell populations in the analysis of flow cytometry data. The increasing number of measured parameters per individual cell and high inter-rater variability makes manual gating inconsistent in many scenarios such as multi-center studies. Here, we propose ConvexGating, an AI tool that automatically learns gating strategies in an unbiased, fully data-driven, yet interpretable manner. ConvexGating scales efficiently with increasing parameter space, creating proficient strategies with low-contamination in the extracted population for previously known and so far unknown or ill-defined cell populations. The inferred strategies are independent of parent populations, for instance, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) can be fully identified as CD45RA- CD123+. In addition to flow cytometry data, ConvexGating derives gating strategies for cyTOF (Cytometry by Time of Flight) and CITEseq (Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing) data and supports optimal design of marker panels for cell sorting.
