Parses and manipulates Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) files for scientific data preprocessing and analysis.
FlowIO is a specialized skill designed to handle Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) files across versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1. It enables Claude to programmatically extract event data into NumPy arrays, read rich metadata from TEXT segments, and generate new FCS files from scratch. This skill is essential for bioinformatics workflows, allowing for the conversion of complex cytometry data into interoperable formats like CSV or DataFrames, and includes advanced features for handling multi-dataset files and correcting offset discrepancies in problematic instrument outputs.
