You right its a matrix (I ran an is.matrix() on my object).
Thanks,

I'm curious to know how you got those row names. I suspect you really have a matrix.
If it were a dataframe, it would behave exactly how you are reqesting -- depending on how you got rid of rows 4:7.
Try as.data.frame(<whatever.your.data.is.now>)
Then deleting the rows will look like:
SEKH0001 SEKH0002 SEKH0003 SEKH0004 SEKH0005 1 256.1139 256.1139 256.1139 256.1139 256.1139 2 283.0741 695.1000 614.5117 453.0342 500.1436 3 257.3578 305.0818 257.3578 257.3578 257.3578 8 257.0000 257.0000 257.0000 257.0000 257.0000 9 305.7857 2450.0417 335.5428 305.7857 584.2485
