A modern and flexible framework for flow cytometry data in R
flowplyr is a reimagined foundation for working with flow cytometry data in R — designed for modern data science workflows.
It aims to make flow cytometry data accessible, composable, and fully compatible with the tidyverse, functional programming, and other R ecosystems, without forcing any particular paradigm.
✨ Key goals
- Modern infrastructure – foregoes the use of S4 OOP to provide a simple, transparent data structure.
-
Functional and flexible –
flowplyrmakes flow data accessible, so you canpurrr,dplyr,data.table, or base R as you would any type of data.
- Interoperable design – easily integrate your flow data analysis with your normal choice of downstream tools for visualization, modeling, saving, and reporting.
- Unified data representation – handles all fcs-file slots (i.e. expression data and metadata)
