Provides quality control (QC), normalization, and batch effect correction operations for 'NanoString nCounter' data, Talhouk et al. (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0153844>. Various metrics are used to determine which samples passed or failed QC. Gene expression should first be normalized to housekeeping genes, before a reference-based approach is used to adjust for batch effects. Raw NanoString data can be imported in the form of Reporter Code Count (RCC) files.
