    Ok, my table is ready. Now, my problem is that I have non-numerical data in my columns. How can I avoid that? For example,
    plot(data$log2.FC.transcriptome., data$log2.FC.translatome.)

    In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf

      As always, there are many ways, and many subtleties.
      If you've been using read.csv, I would recommend that you add the argument stringsAsFactors=FALSE.
      You don't need to bother with fread, which won't treat strings as factors.

      I'll just post two ways to do the filtering, supposing that you know the strings that you want to filter out.
      I'll have to get back to work on my own script then.
      There is an older, more conventional method, but dplyr has many advantages.

      Code:
      library(dplyr)
      data.filtered <- data %>% filter(log2.FC.transcriptome. != "Inf" & log2.FC.transcriptome. != "-Inf" & log2.FC.translatome. != "Inf" & log2.FC.translatome. != "-Inf")
      Older method
      Code:
      data.filtered <- data[data$log2.FC.transcriptome. != "Inf" & data$log2.FC.transcriptome. != "-Inf" & data$log2.FC.translatome. != "Inf" & data$log2.FC.translatome. != "-Inf", ]
      Sorry, I really have to go and finish my own script now.

        Ok, thanks so much for your time. You helped me so much. If you can read this, there's a problem with the %>%.
        Error: could not find function "%>%"

        The 2nd option you gave me deleted all data. The table is empty after that command.

          The "%>%" forward-pipe operator comes with dplyr.
          Either you haven't loaded the dplyr package, or you made a mistake writing the operator.
          It's just the greater sign in between two percentage sign, so the second mistake is less likely.
          Just make sure you've installed dplyr and loaded the package before using "%>%".

          Code:
          install.packages("dplyr")
          library(dplyr)

          For the problems you're experiencing with the more conventional filtering step, I'm not sure what the problem could be.
          I don't see any typos in my command, but there could always be a mistake on my part.
          The best troubleshooting step is always to simplify the command.
          Try just one filtering step at the time.

          Code:
          data.filtered <- data[data$log2.FC.transcriptome. != "Inf", ]
          I'm going to stop procrastinating now by spending time on seqanswers, and actually finish my own R script.

            Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
            by SEQadmin2



            CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

            Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

            Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
            by SEQadmin2


            Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

            Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
            by SEQadmin2



            Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
