The following is what I have implemented thus far... The file object for the two files listed in lines 1-2 was set in my working directory, and are under the folder "Vakul's GBM Code"... hence the source of the odd 'prefix' for .txt files shown
>library(data.table)>.anno = as.data.frame(fread(file = "~Vakul's GBM Code/mapper.txt", sep ="\t", header = T)) >meth = read.table(file = "~Vakul's GBM Code/GBM.txt", sep ="\t", header = T, row.names = 1) >meth = as.matrix(meth) ## the loop just formats the methylation column names to match format ## colnames(meth) = sapply(colnames(meth), function(i){ c1 = strsplit(i,split ='\\', fixed = T)[[1]] c1[4] = paste(strsplit(c1[4],split = "",fixed = T)[[1]][1:2],collapse = "") paste(c1,collapse = ".") Rendering reprex...
