RT-PCR t-test, and ANOVA - (Apr/22/2011 )

Hi,

Can you help me to analyze my RT-PCR data. I've the CT for all my samples and I've compute the dCT. I've four groups of samples ( one group per condition) and I want to perform ANOVA. How can I do that ? in R ?

Here's a example of my dCT matrix

ctrl1 ctrl2 ctrl3 A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3
gene1 7.307 0.237 0.611 9.640 8.705 8.870 7.307 0.611 0.237
gene2 9.061 10.111 11.016 12.025 11.482 10.982 9.061 11.016 10.111
gene3 7.903 12.048 11.911 10.796 10.931 10.648 7.903 11.911 12.048

Thanks,

I read that the Wilcoxon test is better than the t-test for this kind of data . Is it true ?
