Dear Andrew,

Have a look at ggplot2

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(curr_assoc, aes(x = BP, y = P, colour = FILE)) + geom_point() +
scale_y_log10()

HTH,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than
asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what
the experiment died of.
