About

The Deformability Cytometry Open Repository (DCOR) is a data repository designed for managing and working with deformability cytometry (DC) (.rtdc) files.

DCOR fully integrates with the existing DC software stack which is built on dclab. Public and private data on DCOR are transparently accessible in dclab, just as if they were files on disk. This makes it possible to run analysis pipelines (e.g. high performance computing) and manual data analysis (e.g. Shape-Out or CytoPlot) with all data stored in a central, safe, and accessible place.

DCOR is based on https://ckan.org/ with the addition of a permission system that enforces reproducible research and several other extensions that streamline DC data management and analysis. DCOR is fully open source (AGPL-3.0) and developed at https://github.com/DCOR-dev/.
