CyTOF Data Analysis

Data Analysis Tools and Information

Standard commercially available software, also used for Flow Cytometry analysis can be used to analyze your CyTOF data.

FlowJo and FCS Express can be used for basic analysis such as bivariate plots, histogram overlays, heatmaps and dose response.  

FlowJo has also plugins, which offer user-friendly versions of clustering algorithms such as ViSNE/tSNE,UMAP, Tri-MAP, FlowSOM and others.

Free software designed for MatLab and R can be found online, but requires installation of R or MatLab.
