search for: hiv_name

Hi everyone, I am new to R-project. I did search through the list for my problem but i can't find it. I am sorry if this question has been asked. I would like to perform a correlation analysis between a hiv data and gene expression. Basically, i have a file that contains: hiv_name, start_position, end_position, chromosome. I would like to see if these data has anything to do with the location of our genes (I also have another file contains gene_name, start_position, end_position, chromosome). What functions that allow me to do this? I am very new to R and hopefully someone...
