A simple microarray experiment

Someone just gave me some data with a small microarray. There are four exposed animals (Exp.1 through Exp.4) and four control animals (Exp.5 through Exp.8). The microarray has 96 genes, as well as some housekeeping genes

102 111 Mm.195066 M12481 Actb

To read this data into R, I first created a comma separated value file from Excel. Then I used the read.csv() command in R to create a data frame. When I have time, I will try to document all the steps in the data analysis of this small microarray.
