numCellQualControl: Quality control of the number of cells

Description

Plots a histogram of the cell number per well and allows the user to set an upper and a lower threshold so as to exclude wells from the analysis.

Usage

numCellQualControl(DataSetFile, nbLinesHeader, plotTitle)

Arguments

DataSetFile

a dataset file generated with generateDatasetFile

nbLinesHeader

typically 3

plotTitle

the plot title

Value

Prints out the list of wells under and over the predefined thresholds in the shell.Saves a list of discarded siRNA values (if applicable) in a text file named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with either "numCellQualControl\_discarded\_higher.txt" or "numCellQualControl\_discarded\_lower.txt".Saves the histogram with the applied thresholds in a pdf file named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with the plotTitle.Overwrites the given DataSetFile with the new dataset.
