(description
"This package is Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools (CATALYST). Mass
cytometry (CyTOF) uses heavy metal isotopes rather than fluorescent tags as
reporters to label antibodies, thereby substantially decreasing spectral
overlap and allowing for examination of over 50 parameters at the single cell
level. While spectral overlap is significantly less pronounced in CyTOF than
flow cytometry, spillover due to detection sensitivity, isotopic impurities,
and oxide formation can impede data interpretability. We designed
CATALYST (Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools) to provide a pipeline for
preprocessing of cytometry data, including i) normalization using bead
standards, ii) single-cell deconvolution, and iii) bead-based compensation.")
