I believe it's a problem in your variable name "hsa-miR-98". R wants to
interpret that as "hsa" less "miR" less 98. Since you don't have a variable
called "hsa", R (rightly) complains.

Call ls() and see what R thinks your variables are named -- that will
hopefully make the problem evident.

Hope this helps,

PS -- in your plot() call,  you don't need a "c" around xcoords.
