HDCytoData: Collection of high-dimensional cytometry benchmark datasets in Bioconductor object formats

Abstract

Benchmarking is a crucial step during computational analysis and method development. Recently, a number of new methods have been developed for analyzing high-dimensional cytometry data. However, it can be difficult for analysts and developers to find and access well-characterized benchmark datasets. Here, we present HDCytoData, a Bioconductor package providing streamlined access to several publicly available high-dimensional cytometry benchmark datasets. The package is designed to be extensible, allowing new datasets to be contributed Show more
