[R] Mann-Whitney by group

[Oxenstierna]

Hi David,

Thank you for the insight:  I could have sworn I added a picture of the
data, but providing the actual data is worlds easier to deal with, I'm sure. 
I've never used dput(), so I entered it using the dataframe in question as
the object, and I've pasted the results below.

Essentially, I would like to run the two-sample independent test, comparing
Group 5 (CD8.14 through CD8.17) to Group 6 (CD8.18 through CD8.21). So, for
A, test Group 5 agains Group 6, for B, test Group 5 against Group 6, and so
on.  I'm not going to muddy the waters by telling you what I've tried;
suffice it to say that I'm looking for insights into how to structure R
commands to compare groups of data of this format.

Many thanks in advance,

David
