Hide column label of genes

Question

[synat.keam]

Dear All,

It might be a naive question, but I got stuck a bit. How could I read csv file into R and make the gene column had no label like the picture in attached. everytime I read my data in, the label is still there.

thank in advance.

regards,

Dear galaxy,

thank for your response.

i have dataframe called ifn

colnames(ifn) = NULL all the columns are gone

I just need to hide one column in my dataframe, which are genes I used the following code

colnames(ifn$genes)= NULL, gene column is still there

Attached image is my dataframe

.

Kind Regards,

Synat

I'm going to interpret your question a bit. I'm assuming here that you just want to convert your data.frame to a matrix.

# create a matrix from the data.frame
mat2 = as.matrix(mat[,-1]) 

# add rownames to the matrix
rownames(mat2) = mat[,1] 

# show the matrix with genes as rownames
mat2

Note that if the "genes" column has duplicates, this won't work as expected since rownames must be unique.
