numCellQualControl {RNAither} | R Documentation

## 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.
