FCS 4.0 – The Analytical Cytometry Standard, By John Quinn Ph.D.
Work is underway in developing the next flow cytometry standard file format. The working name for this file won’t be FCS 4.0, but the Analytical Cytometry Standard, or ACS. The shift in naming convention is meant to convey a major shift in the format of data storage. Previous versions of fcs incorporated all of the data and metadata into a single file with an FCS header. ACS will actually be a container file that will house a number of sub-files of different formats each selected to house a particular portion of the data. Lets begin with an illustration of the proposed format.

Brown Hosts Regional Bioengineering Conference |
|
Monday, 31 March 2008 |
|
Leading academics and practitioners from the northeast United States
will discuss the latest advances in bioengineering research and
nanotechnology – such as the “printing” of human organs from ink jets
and a new, injectable method for relieving lower back pain – at a
conference hosted by Brown University April 4-6, 2008.

Scientists Launch First Comprehensive Database of Human Oral Microbiome |
|
Monday, 31 March 2008 |
|
Scientists know more today than ever before about the microbes
that inhabit our mouths. They know so much, in fact, that gathering
all of the relevant bits of information into one place when designing
experiments can be a labor-intensive job in itself. Now, grantees
of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR),
part of the National Institutes of Health, and their international
colleagues intend to solve this problem with the launch of the
first comprehensive database of the oral microbiome, or the approximately
600 distinct microorganisms currently known to live in the mouth.

Expansion of Monocyte Subset Could Serve as a Biomarker for HIV Progressions |
|
Friday, 28 March 2008 |
|
An increase in the CD163+/CD16+ monocyte subset could be a
biomarker for the progression of HIV disease, according to researchers
at Temple University.
The researchers reported their findings, “CD163/CD16
Coexpression by Circulating Monocytes/Macrophages in HIV: Potential
Biomarkers for HIV Infection and AIDS Progression,” in the March issue
of AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses (www.liebertonline.com/aid).
