A Framework for Meta-Analysis of Cytometry Data

Abstract Flow cytometry has been used to analyze cell populations with a certain condition, but because of the limitations of a single flow cytometry experiment, results only present a small portion of cell populations. Meta-analysis has been used to compare and contrast multiple datasets in hopes of discovering new insights. Scientists can then identify more cell populations linked to the condition. Therefore, we are developing a method to standardize and analyze multiple flow cytometry datasets.
