Dear Group: After cutting short a lot of gory detail, I finally arrived at atomic level of my problem and here I crash. I guess this crash is due to not so strong logic (hopefully i get better with more and more exerise in solving problems).
I have a file with two columns: Column A (accession number) and column B scores of that identifier: NM_004619.2 4910.8 NM_004619.2 2716.3 NM_145759.1 4805.7 NM_145759.1 2716.3 XM_378692.1 56.00 By looking at this small table, I see that NM_004619.2 and NM_145759.1 are better and high scoring elements. Whereas, XM_378692.1 is a low scoring guy when compared to two others. I want to pick NM_004619.2 and NM_145759.1 and leave XM_ guy. If for instance I have another guy with 1005.6, then I would also pick that. My question is how can I code to distinguish all high scoring group and all low scoring group. Any one, please help me on this issue. Thank you in advance.
