Abstract

We describe a new Python implementation of FlowSOM, a clustering method for cytometry data. This implementation is faster than the original version in R, better adapted to work with single-cell omics data including integration with current single-cell data structures and includes all the original visualizations, such as the star and pie plot. The FlowSOM Python implementation is freely available on GitHub: https://github.com/saeyslab/FlowSOM_Python.
