Ontologically-Aware Automatic Gating

FLOCKMapper: Goal

Identify the issues associated with automatically assigning ontological IDs to cell populations, whether identified programmatically or manually

System Components• SDY1 “Casale” study• FLOCK1– FLOCKLaunch, FLOCKLoad

• Cell Ontology (CL)• ImmPort CL– 2011 (generated from previous BISC contract CL)– Processed into computable form; additional curation

• HIPC Lyoplate cell definitions, converted to computable form– Maecker, H., McCoy, J.P. & Nussenblatt, R. Standardizing immunophenotyping for the human

immunology project. Nature reviews Immunology 12, 191-200 (2012).

Insanely High Level Systems View

Mapping ProcessFor a given HIPC class:

1. identify CL class that is mappable using HIPC definitions, at least in principle

2. address mismatches, if possible3. codify as views and functions
