extracting targe genes of a list of TFs

Question

[zizigolu]

hi,

supposing a list of TFs and their targets as below

> head(tf2target[,1:2])

   TF                gene

1 AHR            1/2-SBSRNA4

2 AHR           A4GALT

3 AHR           AAMP

4 AHR           AANAT

and a list of 35 TFs, how I can extract targets of these 35 TFs from above list?

thank you for any suggestion

Hey Istvan Albert , I think this person is gaming the system again. We should really try and set the points to "answer your own question" to 0.

sorry Ram,, but answering my own question won't add any score for me. I am not gaming

I was really this question but suddenly remembered in this post C: find matching gene symbol EagleEye answered such a question then I used that and for future (might be for myself again) I shared the answer.

I really can't understand your manner toward me, I am not a gamer, I am only a simple student who studied pure agriculture and now trying to learn working with computational tools.

might be my previous deeds in this website cuased you think so about me, but I am not the same student anymore, Jena failure was a good lesson for me...

however @Istvan Albert can ban me from being here, you all right

I am sorry, but I will believe that you're not gaming the system when I don't see gaming behavior. Right now, this one time doesn't prove anything either way, but I weighed your past activities plus detailed the current circumstance (see below) to alert admins to this.

I don't think this is a case of gaming the system. But I do think this is a case of "insufficient searching" prior to creating the thread. This seems like a pretty common R problem, for which multiple solutions exist, either from an R tutorial or StackOverflow. So maybe that could be avoided in the future.

I don't have the impression that Fereshteh's rating has gone up a lot since the previous "accident" (let me call it that...). At that point the "incorrect" upvotes weren't reset.

WDC, her points have not gone up, I agree. Prior to the incident, she and another user had a circular upvote thing going, plus she had multiple Scholar trophies (+10 points each) from answering her own questions in immediately after asking them. I look out for such behavior, and unlike the last time, I wish to be aggressive and request it be stopped the moment I see it.

My recommendation was either to make the Scholar trophy points a one time thing, or award no points if the OP and the answerer are the same person, or an intersection of both. I'm learning django right now, and once I get to understand it a bit, I can definitely suggest a code change myself.

Hey Fereshteh , given you did not mention the existence of the list listof35TFs, you have a pattern of answering and accepting your own answers only, and you answered this literally 1 hour after you asked it, I have to conclude you're gaming the system. Please do not repeat this.
