#numbers correspond to rows in my_dataframe > my_dataframe V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 ENSP00000354687 35660.45 0.04794521 0.05479452 0.06849315 0.07534247 ENSP00000355046 38942.77 0.02967359 0.04451039 0.04451039 0.06824926 ENSP00000354499 57041.21 0.04700855 0.08760684 0.11965812 0.06196581 ENSP00000354687 etc are rownames. I am trying to get top five row names with smallest distances from a given vector as calculated by distancevector from hopach.
