Hi all, I have thousands of strings like these ones: "1159_1; YP_177963; PPE FAMILY PROTEIN" "1100_13; SECRETED L-ALANINE DEHYDROGENASE ALD CAA15575" "1141_24; gi;2894249;emb;CAA17111.1; PROBABLE ISOCITRATE DEHYDROGENASE" and various others.. I'm interested to extract the code for the protein (in this example: YP_177963, CAA15575, CAA17111). I found only one common criterion to identify the protein code...

Dear all, Here is my code which am using to combine 5th column from different data sets. Here is the function to do my job genesymbol.append.file <-NULL gene.column <- NULL readGeneSymbol <- function(files,genesymbol.column=5){ for(i in fnames){ temp <- read.table(fnames,header=T,sep="\t",stringsAsFactors=F,quote="\"")
