In RNAither: Statistical analysis of high-throughput RNAi screens

Description

Generates a boxplot of intensity values of negative controls, positive controls and experimental data for each experiment available in the dataset.

Usage

makeBoxplotControlsPerScreen(header, dataset, channel, plotTitle, plotDesign, showPlot)

Arguments

header	the header of a dataset file generated with generateDatasetFile
dataset	an R data frame generated with generateDatasetFile
channel	a character string specifying the column whose values will be used for the boxplot
plotTitle	the plot title
plotDesign	1 or 2. 1 will generate one window containing all plots, 2 will generate a series of plots.
showPlot	0 or 1. 1 will open one or several plot windows in the R GUI, 0 will only save the plot(s) without opening windows.

Value

A series of boxplots of intensity values of negative controls, positive controls and experimental data will be saved as a pdf and a png file named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with the plotTitle.

The function returns a list containing:

plotName	the plotname
minOfScreens	the number of the first experiment
numOfScreens	he number of the last experiment
