FlowRepository.org is a Web‐based flow cytometry data repository provided by the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC). It supports storage, annotation, analysis, and sharing of flow cytometry datasets. A fundamental tenet of scientific research is that published results should be open to independent validation and refutation. With FlowRepository, researchers can annotate their datasets in compliance with the Minimum Information about a Flow Cytometry Experiment (MIFlowCyt) standard, thus greatly facilitating third‐party interpretation of their data. In this unit, we will mainly focus on the deposition, sharing, and annotation of flow cytometry data. Curr. Protoc. Cytom . 61:10.18.1‐10.18.26. © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
