Just for the record, "group" needs a vector the same length as your
number
of samples, so in your case it should be c("WT_4wks","MT_4wks",
"MT_17wks", "MT_17wks"). I'll add a warning about that in
plotCtOverview,
but I don't think that's the cause of the problem here. What do you
get if
you say summary(s2010004660)?
I can't reproduce this behaviour with any of the data I have, but if
you
don't mind sending my your qPCRset (off list), then perhaps I can have
a
lot at if directly.
