Oh, thanks, that was hint enough :-) I see it now. I turns that R does
not understand

e-10

...which stands for 1e-10 and is produced by some of the bioinformatic
applications that I use (notably BLAST). However, R instead of being
verbose on that just assumes that the whole column is a string.

Is there a way to enforce a specific conversion in R (for example, to
be able to see where the errors are?).
