when I do


>p53genes2 <- rownames(p53genes)




I am getting "1" "2" "3" "4" as my rownames

So I did
rownames(p53genes) <- p53genes[,1]



Error: duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed

So how can I take my rownames as my genesymbols and not the numerics 1,2,3?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Hi Koushik,

What does:

> p53genes[,1] 

return?

Thank you,
Patrick
