I have installed the xmap stuff for the human exon arrays, and all I 
needed were the homo_sapiens_core_43_36d files. Does the INSTALL.TXT 
that comes with the mouse version differ in what they say you need to 
download? Naively I would assume what you need would be the same (only 
mouse, not human).

As an aside, I have some functions I wrote to do what I think is a more 
reasonable analysis of these data than simply doing loads of t-tests for 
each probeset. If you are interested I can send them to you. I would be 
interested in any feedback you might have.

Note that these are bare functions, not a package, and I just started 
writing them this week so they are in super-pre-alpha status ;-D.

Best,

Jim
