Dear all, please could you advise on a computationally quick way to compare and merge 2 long lists in R; the lists are of the following type, for example :
<> in list 1 : chromosome, coordinateA, coordinateB, value1 chromosome, coordinateC, coordinateC, value2, etc <> in list 2 : chromosome, coordinateX, coordinateY, value6 chromosome, coordinateZ, coordinateT, value8, etc In the unified list, if coordinateA=coordinateX, and coordinateB=coordinateY, then we write : chromosome, coordinateA, coordinateB, value1, coordinateX, coordinateY, value6, otherwise, we write the individual values : chromosome, coordinateA, coordinateB, value1, chromosome, coordinateX, coordinateY, value6, thanks, bogdan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
