Hi Guys,
I have this table (mydf) with the column ALT, and I want to split the string in each cell of this column so that there are only one character per cell and cbind
them to new column as ALT1, ALT2, ALT3, ..., ALTn based on the number of characters in the cells and get the result table. How can I do this in R? Thank you for your help.
mydf
REF ALT GENE
A GC MAPK
T GCA..n MAP2K
Result:
REF ALT ALT1 ALT2 ALTn GENE
A GC G C MAPK
T GCA..n G C nth character MAP2K
Nice solution! Also have a look at the solution posted by me. Might be useful and efficient for huge datasets.
