Hi Michael,
Here is a sample of the data.

 Gene Array1 Array2 Array3 Array4 Array5 Array6 Array7 Array8 Array9 Array10
Array11  Fth1 26016.01 23134.66 17445.71 39856.04 27245.45 23622.98 37887.75
49857.46 25864.73 21852.51 29198.4  B2m 7573.64 7768.52 6608.24 8571.65
6380.78 6242.76 6903.92 7330.63 7256.18 5678.21 10937.05  Tmsb4x 6192.44
4277.22 5024.59 4851.51 3062.55 4562.43 7948.1 5018.58 3200.17 2855.77
6139.23  H2-D1 3141.41 3986.06 3328.62 4726.6 3589.89 2885.95 7509.88
5257.62 4742.26 3431.33 5300.72  Prdx5 3935.7 3938.9 3401.68 4193.14 4028.95
3438.19 6640.15 5486.61 4424.57 3368.83 5265.92
I want to retain the gene names in the data. What you've proposed will take
them out and I'll have to append them back to the results after the cor()
