R help - Jun 2006 - question about using ancova in R to do variable selection

Hi,
  I have a microarray data which has about 10000 genes and 15 measurements. The
15 measurements contain 6 control, 3 low dose, 3 medium dose, 3 high dose. If I
treat the dose level as a continuous variable, how can I use ANCOVA to do gene
selection? (I mean to select those genes that response to different level of
doses differently?). Thank you very much!

  James

Have you tried Bioconductor (www.bioconductor.org)?  I haven't seen 
any replies to your question, and I know next to nothing about 
microarray data.  I understand that Bioconductor specializes in 
microarray and related data, has a listserve, etc.

	  hope this helps,
