Thanks for the answer, but it's still don't work. What I get for each genotype look like this:
$`02-02` Welch Two Sample t-test data: slength[, 6] by slength[, 3] t = 1.6262, df = 682.116, p-value = 0.1044 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: -0.1336494 1.4224993 sample estimates: mean in group d mean in group w 2.419450 1.775025 For each of the genotypes all the data is tests, not just the data for the unique genotype.
