Hello,

I'm trying to add a column to the following data frame. The new column  
will contain "black" when the 5th column(if_TE_related) is  
"TE_related", or "orange" when the 4th column is " " (space).

"chromo"        "MSU_locus"     "end5"  "end3"  "if_TE_related"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01006"        1032    2679    "TE_related"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01008"        7636    3951    "TE_related"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01010"        9521    10296   "TE_related"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01020"        17165   17437   " "
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01030"        29372   18440   "TE_related"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01040"        30637   37300   "TE_related"
...

So, after a data manipulation, it should look like the following...

"chromo"        "MSU_locus"     "end5"  "end3"  "if_TE_related" "color"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01006"        1032    2679    "TE_related"    "black"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01008"        7636    3951    "TE_related"    "black"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01010"        9521    10296   "TE_related"    "black"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01020"        17165   17437   " "     "orange"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01030"        29372   18440   "TE_related"    "black"
"chr04" "LOC_Os04g01040"        30637   37300   "TE_related"    "black"
...

I have worked on the following code to do this job using function and  
loop, but it is not working. If someone help me, I would really  
appreciate!!!
The original data frame is Os.chr4.gene.new.

Gene <- Os.chr4.gene.new[, c("if_TE_related")]
Genecolor <- function(Gene) {
        lg <-length(Gene)
        for(i in 1:lg) {
        if (Gene == "TE_related") {D1 <- (Gene == "black")}
        if (Gene == " ") {D1 <- (Gene == "orange")}
        }
        Gene.color <- cbind(Gene, D1)
        write.table(Gene.color, file="Gene_color1.txt", sep="\t", row.names=F)
        }
Genecolor(Gene)
