_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     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.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     numCellQualControl(DataSetFile, nbLinesHeader, plotTitle)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

DataSetFile: a dataset file generated with 'generateDatasetFile' 

nbLinesHeader: typically 3 

plotTitle: the plot title 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     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.
