[R] Boxplot across levels of a factor

Hello,

I have a data-frame in which one-column is a factor:

> str(data);
`data.frame':   194 obs. of  8 variables:
 $ Type         : Factor w/ 3 levels "Nuclear-Rec..",..: 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
...
 $ Locus        : num  0.000571 0.004000 0.001429 0.004857 0.007429 ...

And I'd like to make a boxplot of the data$Locus values, where each level of
the factor gets its own box-and-whiskers plot.  I'm weak in R, but I thought
there might be some shortcut to automating this instead of just creating a
new data-structure with all the separate values?

Any suggestions much appreciated!
Paul
