Hi,
You can try either one of these:
dat1<-read.table(text="
Ref_Pos??? Ref_Allele??? Var_Allele??? Var_Freq
????? 1??????????? A????????????????? A??????????????? 100
????? 2??????????????????? T????????????????? G????????????????? 50
????? 3??????????????????? G????????????????? G??????????????? 100
????? 4??????????????????? G????????????????? T????????????????? 45
????? 5??????????????????? T????????????????? C????????????????? 80
",sep="",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
dat2<-dat1[unlist(lapply(split(dat1[,2:3],1:nrow(dat1[,2:3])),function(x)
unlist(gregexpr(x[1],x[2]))!=1),use.names=FALSE),]
dat2
#? Ref_Pos Ref_Allele Var_Allele Var_Freq
#2?????? 2????????? T????????? G?????? 50
#4?????? 4????????? G????????? T?????? 45
#5?????? 5????????? T????????? C?????? 80
#or
dat3<-dat1[apply(dat1,1,function(x) x[2]!=x[3]),]
dat3
#? Ref_Pos Ref_Allele Var_Allele Var_Freq
#2?????? 2????????? T????????? G?????? 50
#4?????? 4????????? G????????? T?????? 45
#5?????? 5????????? T????????? C?????? 80
#or
dat4<-dat1[dat1[,2]!=dat1[,3],]
dat4
#? Ref_Pos Ref_Allele Var_Allele Var_Freq
#2?????? 2????????? T????????? G?????? 50
#4?????? 4????????? G????????? T?????? 45
#5?????? 5????????? T????????? C?????? 80
identical(dat2,dat3)
#[1] TRUE
identical(dat2,dat4)
#[1] TRUE
A.K.

Subject: [R] Delete row if two values in a matrix are equal
Hi all and thank you for your time.
I would like to delete rows from this matrix I call "var" if the
character
in Ref_Allele is equal to the character in Var_Allele. I have attached a
before and after, to help my poor explanation. If someone could provide me
with some code, or some guidance I would really appreciate it.
Thank you again.
"Before"> var
Ref_Pos??? Ref_Allele??? Var_Allele??? Var_Freq
? ? 1? ? ? ? ??? A??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? A??? ? ? ? ? ? ? 100
? ? 2??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? T??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? G??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 50
? ? 3??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? G??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? G??? ? ? ? ? ? ? 100
? ? 4??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? G??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? T??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 45
? ? 5??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? T??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? C??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 80
"After"
Ref_Pos??? Ref_Allele??? Var_Allele??? Var_Freq
? ? 2??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? T??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? G??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 50
