Package 'cyanoFilter' reference manual

Title:	Phytoplankton Population Identification using Cell Pigmentation and/or Complexity
Description:	An approach to filter out and/or identify phytoplankton cells from all particles measured via flow cytometry pigment and cell complexity information. It does this using a sequence of one-dimensional gates on pre-defined channels measuring certain pigmentation and complexity. The package is especially tuned for cyanobacteria, but will work fine for phytoplankton communities where there is at least one cell characteristic that differentiates every phytoplankton in the community.

tests the accuracy of several automated gating functions on monoculture flow cytometry experiments.

Description

This function gates all flowFrames in the supplied flowSet to attach cluster labels. Then it mixes up the flowSet into one giant flowFrame and re-gates this to attach another label. These labels are used to examine if the gating algorithms can reproduce the earlier clusters before the mixing.

Usage

accTest(
  fs,
  sfts = c("phytoFilter", "flowClust", "cytometree"),
  channels,
  nrun = 10000,
  ...
)
accTest(
  fs,
  sfts = c("phytoFilter", "flowClust", "cytometree"),
  channels,
  nrun = 10000,
  ...
)

Arguments

`fs`	flowSet with each flowFrame being a phytoplankton monoculture FCM experiment
`sfts`	character vector of gating function to test.
`channels`	channels to be used for gating
`nrun`	number of times the resampling should be done
`...`	extra options to be parsed to the gating function

Value

a named list containing the following objects;

depth - the multivariate-depth (median) of each flowFrame in the flowset supplied
accuracy - computed accuracy based on resampling after joining the flowFrames together.

Removes or assign indicators to margin events.

Description

The function identifies margin events, i.e. cells that are too large for the flow cytometer to measure.

Usage

cellMargin(
  flowframe,
  Channel = "SSC.W",
  type = c("manual", "estimate"),
  cut = NULL,
  y_toplot = "FSC,HLin"

)

Arguments

`flowframe`	Flowframe containing margin events to be filtered out
`Channel`	The channel on which margin events are. Defaults to SSC.W (side scatter width)
`type`	The method to be used in gating out the margin cells. Can either be 'manual' where user supplies a cut off point on the channel, 1 = not margin 0 = margin
`cut`	sould not be NULL if type = 'manual'
`y_toplot`	channel on y-axis of plot with Channel used to gate out margin events

Details

Users can either supply a cut-off point along the channel describing particle width or allow the function to estimate the cut-off point using the deGate function from the flowDensity package. A plot of channel against "FSC.HLin" is provided with a vertical line showing the cut-off point separating margin events from other cells.

Value

an object of class MarginEvents class containing slots;

reducedflowframe - flowframe without margin events
fullflowframe - flowframe with an Margin.Indicator added as an extra column added to the expression matrix to indicate which particles are margin events. 1 = not margin event, 0 = margin event
N_margin - number of margin events recorded
N_cell - numner of non-margin events
N_particle - is the number of particles in total, i.e. N_cell + N_margin

cyanoFilter: A package to identify and cluster phytoplankton cells contained in flow cytometry data.

Description

The package provides two categories of functions: metafile preprocessing functions and fcsfile processing functions.

metafile preprocessing functions

This set of functions (goodFcs and retain) helps to identify the appropriate fcs file to read.

fcsfile processing functions

These functions (noNA and noNeg, phytoFilter) works on the fcs file to identify the phytoplankton populations contained in the fcs file.

Description

The function takes in a flowframe and identifies debris contained in the provided flowframe.

Usage

`ph`	the minimum peak height that should be considered. This aids the removal of tiny peaks. Defaults to 0.1
`n_sd`	number of standard deviations away from peak should be considered to filter out debris

Details

The function uses the getPeaks and deGate functions in the flowDensity package to identify peaks in ch_chlorophyll, and identify cut-off points #between these peaks. A plot of both channels supplied with horizontal line separating debris from other cell populations is also returned.

returns the channel with more than one peak present. It returns NA if there is only one peak present.

Description

returns the channel with more than one peak present. It returns NA if there is only one peak present.

Usage

getChannel(flowfile, ch, ph)
getChannel(flowfile, ch, ph)

indicates if measurement from a flowfile is good or bad.

Description

This function examines the column containig $cells/\mu L$ and determins if the measurement can be used for further analysis or not based on a supplied range.

Usage

goodFcs(metafile, col_cpml = "CellspML", mxd_cellpML = 1000, mnd_cellpML = 50)
goodFcs(metafile, col_cpml = "CellspML", mxd_cellpML = 1000, mnd_cellpML = 50)

Arguments

`metafile`	associated metafile to the supplied fcsfile. This is a csv file containig computed stats from the flow cytometer.
`col_cpml`	column name or column number in metafile containing cell per microlitre measurements.
`mxd_cellpML`	maximal accepted cell per microlitre. Flowfiles with larger cell per microlitre are termed bad. Defaults to 1000.
`mnd_cellpML`	minimum accepted cell per microlitre. Flowfiles with lesser cell per microlitre are termed bad. Defaults to 50.

Details

Most flow cytometer makers will always inform clients within which range can measurements from the machine be trusted. The machines normally stores the amount of $cells/\mu L$ it counted in a sample. Too large value could mean possible doublets and too low value could mean too little cells.

Value

character vector with length same as the number of rows in the metafile whose entries are good for good files and bad for bad files.

gates out or assign indicators to phytoplankton cells based on the expression of the measured pigments.

Description

This function takes in a flowframe with debris removed and identifies phytoplankton cell population in the provided frame.

Usage

pigmentGate(flowfile, pig_channels, ph = 0.05)
pigmentGate(flowfile, pig_channels, ph = 0.05)

Arguments

`flowfile`	flowframe after debris are removed.
`pig_channels`	flowcytometer channels measuring phytoplankton pigmentations.
`ph`	maximum peak height to be ignored. This allows ignoring of tiny peaks that could affect the gating process.

Details

The function uses the getPeaks and deGate functions in the flowDensity package to identify peaks and identify cut-off points between these peaks.

Value

list containing;

full_flowframe - flowframe containing only phytoplankton cells
phy_ind - indicator for phytoplankton clusters found
gated_channels - pigment channels with more than one peak

Decides if a file should be retiained or removed based on its status.

Description

Function to determine what files to retain and finally read from the flow cytometer FCS file.

Usage

retain(
  meta_files,
  make_decision = c("maxi", "mini", "unique"),
  Status = "Status",
  CellspML = "CellspML"
)
retain(
  meta_files,
  make_decision = c("maxi", "mini", "unique"),
  Status = "Status",
  CellspML = "CellspML"
)

Arguments

`meta_files`	dataframe from meta file that has been preprocessed by the `goodFcs` function.
`make_decision`	decision to be made should more than one $cells/\mu L$ be good.
`Status`	column name in meta_files containing status obtained from the `goodFcs` function.
`CellspML`	column name in meta_files containing $cells/\mu L$ measurements.

Details

It is typically not known in advance which dilution level would result in the desired $cells/\mu L$ , therefore the samples are ran through the flow cytometer at two or more dilution levels. Out of these, one has to decide which to retain and finally use for further analysis. This function and goodFcs are to help you decide that. If more than one of the dilution levels are judged good, the option make_decision = "maxi" will give "Retain" to the row with the maximum $cells/\mu L$ while the opposite occurs for make_decision = "mini". make_decision = "unique" i there is only one measurement for that particular sample, while make_decision = "maxi" and make_decision = "mini" should be used for files with more than one measurement for the sample in question.

Value

a character vector with entries "Retain" for a file to be retained or "No!" for a file to be discarded.
