Hello guys!
I have been messing around with R for a while now, but this situation has
me a bit stumped. I was unable to solve it by reading documentation.
So I have this table (currently in Excel - could export it as csv) with
values in 3 columns. Let's call them value P (for position), value B
(beginning) and E (end). P represents the position of a mutation in the
genome, B and E are the beginnings and ends of a nearby gene that either
contains the mutation or not.
I am trying to compute the distance between the mutation and the gene.
If the mutation is contained in the gene, that is value P is greater than B
and lesser than E, the result is 0.
If the mutation is "left" of the gene, the distance is negative and is
equal to P-B.
If the mutation is "right" of the gene, the distance is positive and is
equal to P-E.
How would i achieve this in R?
Regards and thanks, S.
