This vignette demonstrates how the gatingML files exported from Cytobank can be imported into R as a GatingSet object.
library(flowWorkspace)
library(CytoML)
acs <- system.file("extdata/cytobank_experiment.acs", package = "CytoML")
Create cytobank_experiment
object from the ACS bundle exported from Cytobank
ce <- open_cytobank_experiment(acs)
ce
## cytobank Experiment: tcell

## panel samples
## 1 Panel 1 1
cytobank_experiment is a wrapper around the ACS
file, which can be inspected by various accessors.

Then import cytobank_experiment
into GatingSet
gs <- cytobank_to_gatingset(ce)
By default, the first panel
(i.e. panel_id = 1
) will be imported. Change panel_id
argument to select different panel (if there are more than one , which can be inspected by ce_get_panels
)
Alternatively, the import can be done by gatingML
and fcs
files that are downloaded separately form Cytobank without ACS
.
xmlfile <- ce$gatingML
fcsFiles <- list.files(ce$fcsdir, full.names = TRUE)
gs <- cytobank_to_gatingset(xmlfile, fcsFiles)
However, it doesn’t have the information from yaml
file (part of ACS
). E.g. sample tags (i.e. pData
) and customized markernames. So it is recommended to import ACS
.
Inspect the results
