AI Article Synopsis

  • A new Python implementation of FlowSOM, a clustering method for analyzing cytometry data, has been developed.
  • This version is quicker than the original in R and is designed to efficiently handle single-cell omics data, while retaining all original visualizations like star and pie plots.
  • You can access the FlowSOM Python implementation for free on GitHub at: https://github.com/saeyslab/FlowSOM_Python.

Article Abstract

Motivation: We describe a new Python implementation of FlowSOM, a clustering method for cytometry data.

Results: This implementation is faster than the original version in R, better adapted to work with single-cell omics data including integration with current single-cell data structures and includes all the original visualizations, such as the star and pie plot.

Availability And Implementation: The FlowSOM Python implementation is freely available on GitHub: https://github.com/saeyslab/FlowSOM_Python.
