Cytutils

[AdeebR]

Dear CyTOFers,

I'm please to announce cytutils, a set of utilities that we're developing focused on cytometry data processing and evaluating quality control and reproducibility. The current methods include a utility for channel renaming, calculating JS divergence to compare the similarity of 2D maps, and calculating AOF (Average Overlap Frequency) to evaluate staining quality. Props to El-ad Amir and Melanie Davila for leading the development and testing of these tools.

I hope you find them useful.

And thanks Adeeb for leading the charge I'm repeatedly impressed by the Mount Sinai HIMC's ability to design and acquire data sets that are conductive for computational development.

By the way, the channel renaming feature was inspired by Mike Leipold's thread -- I hope the community finds it useful.

Dear all,

I've previously used Cytutils without any issues.
Unfortunately, I was forced to re-install R on my computer (I know, horrible decision) and ever since I can't seem to get Cytutils going anymore.
Google did not seem to have any information on this particular issue..

Hopefully there's someone here who can help out.
I copy-pasted the installation commands as stated on github: the Devtools part runs without issues, it's the cytutils that appears to be the problem

This is the output I got when trying to install the package:

Any suggestions as to what could be wrong and how to fix it?

Dear Hester,

i think the main problem is due to the fact that your home directory is not in your computer but on a shared folder in the network. In the error messages, there is one saying "UNC paths are not supported." (UNC meaning shared network folders on a local area network). R does not support such folder and it's better that the packages are in the disk of the computer you are using.

I think the best is to contact the local computer administrator in order to fulfill the policies of your institute.

Alternatively, you can try to define the R library folder and tell it to R. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/151 ... ls-to-work
