A defined population of cells, e.g., as determined by phenotype or clustering.
| attribute | type | cardinality | unique? | required? | doc |
|---|
| cell-type | cell-type | one | | | The cell-type represented by this cell-population. This is mandatory for populations
that have not been defined by clustering |
| from-clustering | boolean | one | | | Flag indicating whether this cell population was derived from automatic clustering
(i.e. as opposed to manual gating) |
| name | string | one | | | The name of this cell population, must be unique within the scope of this measurement-set |
| negative-markers | epitope | many | | | The opposite of :cell-population/positive-markers |
| parent | cell-population | one | | | The cell-population that is a parent of this cell-population. This is meant to
represent gating hierarchies |
| positive-markers | epitope | many | | | Reference to markers (i.e. epitopes) whose presence contributes to defining
this cell population. This does not have to be an exhaustive list as it is meant
to represent concepts such as Ki67+ CD4 T cells |
| uid | [[* string]] | one | yes | | Synthetic unique ID for cell-populations |
