Thats done the trick, thank you very much.

Yep, you can, but I need t.norm1 as an intermediate for deriving
polar.1 and polar.2 for each Sample.Name and SNP, although I wouldn't
be surprised if this can be done at the same time, as your reshape()
package is exceptionally flexible (and as you can probably tell, I'm
still climbing the R learning curve!).
In fact I think I shall sit down and work out how to do this!
Thanks for your help (again),
Neil
