Hi List
This is likely a trivial problem but it's annoying me. I am mapping
from Bos taurus ensembl ids to symbols. I can do this in biomaRt but
use of the org.Bt.eg.db package means I'm not tied to an internet
connection.
A toy example:
library(org.Bt.eg.db)
ens <- c('ENSBTAG00000004218', 'ENSBTAG00000004270',
'ENSBTAG00000004578', 'ENSBTAG00000004608')
egs <- unlist(mget(ens, revmap(org.Bt.egENSEMBL), ifnotfound=NA))
egs
ENSBTAG00000004218 ENSBTAG00000004270 ENSBTAG00000004578
ENSBTAG00000004608
"617660" "407106" NA
"100138951"
# a named character vector with one NA
#now get symbols
syms <- unlist(mget(egs, org.Bt.egSYMBOL, ifnotfound=NA))
#throws and error - fair enough - need to drop the NA
which(egs == NA)
#gives named integer(0) - hmm
class(egs)
#gives [1] "character" - so I'm quite confused now.
NA %in% egs
#gives [1] TRUE
How do I identify which entries in 'egs' are NA so I can remove them?
It's trivial here but the dataset I'm working with is in the
thousands.
Thanks
