在R中将两个列值粘贴在一起时省略NA值

Question

我有一个名为的数据帧dd2.我需要粘贴的价值观Left.Gene.Symbols和Right.Gene.Symbols我可以简单地使用下面的代码做的,但我不想沿着是否有遗漏值粘贴来港定居.我希望它看起来像在combination列中所示result.

mycode的

#to remove NAs
dd2[dd2 == 'NA'] <- NA
#pasting values together
result <- cbind(dd2,combination = paste(dd2[,"Left.Gene.Symbols"],dd2[,"Right.Gene.Symbols"],sep="*"))

数据

dd2<- structure(c("AMLM12001KP", "AMLM12001KP", "AMLM12001KP", "AMLM12001KP", 
"AMLM12001KP", "AK2", "HFM1", "HFM1", "HFM1", "HFM1", NA, "PPT", 
NA, "GGT", NA), .Dim = c(5L, 3L), .Dimnames = list(NULL, c("customer_sample_id", 
"Left.Gene.Symbols", "Right.Gene.Symbols")))

结果

   customer_sample_id Left.Gene.Symbols Right.Gene.Symbols  combination
[1,] "AMLM12001KP"      "AK2"             NA                    AK2*
[2,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"           "PPT"                  HFM1*PPT
[3,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"            NA                    HFM1*
[4,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"           "GGT"                  HFM1*GGT
[5,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"            NA                    HFM1*

您可以执行类似的操作，暂时NA用空字符替换值""。

cbind(
    dd2, 
    combination = paste(dd2[,2], replace(dd2[,3], is.na(dd2[,3]), ""), sep = "*")
)
#      customer_sample_id Left.Gene.Symbols Right.Gene.Symbols combinations
# [1,] "AMLM12001KP"      "AK2"             NA                 "AK2*"      
# [2,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"            "PPT"              "HFM1*PPT"  
# [3,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"            NA                 "HFM1*"     
# [4,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"            "GGT"              "HFM1*GGT"  
# [5,] "AMLM12001KP"      "HFM1"            NA                 "HFM1*"    

当然，请用您的列名替换上面的列号。我没有写它们，因为它们太长了。
