ploidy {flowTime} | R Documentation

## Guess the ploidy of a given flowframe

### Description

Use the FSC.A/FSC.H ratio. Diploids are typically 5um x 6um ellipsoids while haploids are typically 4um x 4um spheroids. As a result, diploids are longer and you get a larger 'area/volume' FSC.A. 'Width' might also be useful on certain cytometers.

### Usage

    ploidy(flowframe)

### Arguments

`flowframe` | the flowFrame you would like to identify the ploidy of

### Value

"Diploid" or "Haploid" and the mean FSC.A/FSC.H quotient

### Examples

    dat <- read.flowSet(path = system.file("extdata", "ss_example",
    package = "flowTime"), alter.names = TRUE)
    ploidy(dat$A01.fcs)
