Hi All,

I have a data set of around 17,000 gene names and their lengths. E.g.

           gene      kblength
  A3GALT2       14.333
AADACL3       12.609
AADACL4       22.532
      ABCA4     128.312
     ABCB10      42.114
       ABCD3    100.287
............
.........

and I was able to draw a reverse cumulative frequency plot using the following 
code:
d<- read.table("gene_length_data.txt", header=T)
attach(d)
kblength.ecdf<-ecdf(kblength)
r<-range(kblength)
curve(1-kblength.ecdf(x), from=r[1], to=r[2], col="red", xlim=r)
detach(d)

Here's the link to the output: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=5c41810

I want to put markers and the corresponding gene names in the graph for a small 
list of 6 genes. i.e. say a hollow circle on the curve followed by the 
corresponding gene name.

I am fighting with this but wasn't able to get a solution.

Hi Debs,
I think you can get what you want with this:

kborder<-order(kblength)
example_pos<-c(25,50,75,100,125)
text(example_pos,kblength[kborder][example_pos],
 paste(gene[kborder][example_pos],kblength[kborder][example_pos],
 sep="\n"))
