Useful to have list of CyTOF datasets?
More and more labs are publishing new CyTOF datasets, and more and more labs are reusing previously-generated datasets for algorithm development and comparison.
Would it be useful for the community to have a list of published CyTOF datasets? If so, what do you think would be the best way to collect this information? It could be something as simple as a Google Form....
What is the minimal information that would need to be captured, to make it useful? Obviously, it would be nice to have all the information possible, but that creates a hassle for the generators and becomes a barrier to use.
I was thinking something like this (not all fields required):
Flow Repository ID:
Immport ID:
Other database:
Other database ID:
Organism (human, mouse, etc):
Sample type (eg, PBMC, bone marrow):
Assay type (eg, surface phenotyping, phosphoflow, ICS):
Published (yes/no):
DOI:
Thoughts?
