Hello, Ah, yes, the sample names should of course be in the rows - Friday afternoon error. In the question, I specified "largely the same set of features", implying that the overlap is not complete. So, the example below will error.
DFL <- DataFrameList(X = DataFrame(a = 1:3, b = 3:1, row.names = LETTERS[1:3]), Y = DataFrame(b = 4:6, c = 6:4, row.names = LETTERS[20:22])) unlist(DFL) Error in .aggregate_and_align_all_colnames(all_colnames, strict.colnames = strict.colnames) : the DFrame objects to combine must have the same column names This is long but works: allFeatures <- unique(unlist(lapply(DFL, colnames))) DFL <- lapply(DFL, function(DF) { missingFeatures <- setdiff(allFeatures, colnames(DF)) DF[missingFeatures] <- NA DF }) DFLflattened <- do.call(rbind, DFL) Is there a one-line function for it? -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
