When I encounter problems like this, I make sure each row has the
expected number of columns. Something like the following awk code is
useful.
awk -F"\t" '{print NF}' id_name_gh5.txt | sort | uniq -c
Note: I'm not sure is the \t will work with the -F switch as above.

HI, Dear R community,
My original file has 1932 lines, but when I read into R, it changed to
1068
lines, how comes?
c...@nuuk:~/operon$ wc -l id_name_gh5.txt
1932 id_name_gh5.txt
gene_name<-read.table("/home/cdu/operon/id_name_gh5.txt", sep="\t",
skip=0, header=F, fill=T)
dim(gene_name)
[1] 1068 3
Do any of your lines start with a "#"?
read.table("test.txt",sep="\t")
V1
1 line 1
2 line 2
3 line 3
4 line 4
read.table("test.txt",comment.char="",sep="\t")
V1
1 line 1
2 #commented
3 line 2
4 line 3
5 #nother comment
6 line 4
just a guess. hard to tell without the file...
