Hello all,
I hope some of you can come to my rescue, yet again.
I have two genetic datasets, and I want one of the datasets to have only the
columns that are in common with the other dataset.
Here is a toy example (my real datasets have hundreds of columns):
Dataset 1:
Individual SNP1 SNP2 SNP3 SNP4 SNP5
1 A G T C A
2 T C A G T
3 A C T C A
Dataset 2:
Individual SNP1 SNP3 SNP5 SNP6 SNP7
4 A T T G C
5 T A A G G
6 A A T C G
I want Dataset1 to have only columns that are also represented in Dataset 2,
i.e., I want to generate a new Dataset 3 that looks like this:
Individual SNP1 SNP3 SNP5
1 A T A
2 T A T
3 A T A
Does anyone know how I could do this? Keep in mind that this is not a simple
merge, as in the "merge" function.
Thanks very much for your help everyone.
Josh B.
