In RNAither: Statistical analysis of high-throughput RNAi screens

Description

Generates a boxplot comparing the same plates in different experiments.

Usage

makeBoxplot4PlateType(header, dataset, channel, plotTitle, 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
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

For each plate type, a boxplot of intensity values per experiment will be saved as a pdf and a png file named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with the plotTitle and the number of the plate.

The function returns a list containing:

plotName	the plotname
minOfPlates	the number of the first experiment
numOfPlates	the number of the last experiment
