You **might** do better pursuing this sort of thing on the Bioconductor site:

They often have professionally written R packages tailored for genomics so that 
you don't need to shake and bake your own with all the dangers that entails 
(not least of which may be that your methodology is suspect).

Thank you, Bert!

I just realized that I made a typo in the following email, so I modified it 
using the red font.  we are doing genomics work, but this is a understudied 
genomic research, so no professional packages. I admit that what I am doing is 
pretty explorative.

Yes,  Abby's understanding is right.

2    1     1   138  149    14    1     1

I have 2000 markers, this is just one example marker, the var1 is a VNTR marker 
with alleles 1, 3, 4 etc, a multi-allele marker; the corresponding frequency 
for each allele is 1,2 5 etc.  I want to convert this multi-allele marker to 
bi-allele markers by choosing a cutoff value; I would want the cut point to be 
allele 6 with frequency of 10, so allele 1 to allele 5 are considered as 
"short" allele, allele 6 to 31 as "long" allele;  then sliding to next rsing 
frequency peak, allele 8 with frequency of 8, etc.

maybe those rising peaks are not really multiple modes, but I want to do this 
type of data conversion.  I want to first determine the number of modes, then 
convert input dat file into m different input files, then perform Cox 
regression analysis for each converted file. I am stuck in the step of find out 
m rise peaks.

Thank you,

Ding

  tem3 <-gather(tem2, marker, VNTR_repeats, m1:m2)

  tem4$Var1 <-as.numeric(as.character(tem4$Var1))
  tem4 <-tem4[order(tem4$Var1),]

I think people have misinterpreted the question.
The OP wants local maxima from the series.

The original series is frequencies, so your table is frequencies of frequencies.

A solution can be derived by looking at signs of the first and second
differences.
But there may be a simpler way????
