SIMPLI's example workflow and dataset

Each installation of SIMPLI includes a self-containe example/test dataset and all the metadata and configuration files required for its analysis.

SIMPLI's example data and configuration

The example dataset provided with SIMPLI consists of two Imaging Mass Cytometry derived images of normal colon mucosa. The images are derived from the ablation of two ROIs from two different FFPE blocks from two individuals who underwent surgery for the removal of colorectal cancers.

Imaging mass citometry antibody panel

The two example images contain the channels, with the intensities associated to this panel of metal conjugated antibodies.

Raw image files

The raw images files used in SIMPLI's example workflow are two .txt IMC acquisition files with one Region Of Interest (ROI) each. These files are available in SIMPLI's repository and in your local SIMPLI installation folder: SIMPLI/test/raw_data/.

Example Metadata and Configuration

The metadata and configuration files required for running an analysis of the example dataset are stored at SIMPLI/test/ and include:

Running the example analysis

The most recent version of SIMPLI be downloaded and run from directly from this repository with:

nextflow run https://github.com/ciccalab/SIMPLI -profile test

In alternative the example analysis can be run from an existing installation of SIMPLI with:

nextflow main.nf -profile test
