Code should be placed in three backticks as shown below


I have an output file from the Limma package using GEO2R. I attached the file. you will see the FC column some value is as scientific notation (-1,97E+14) or some are integer number, some of them are meaningless such as `282.311.618.510.231` in Foldchange value. I need to help to figure out such value what it is. It depends on FC values to decide which gene is up or downregulated. I also converted to logFC colomn from character to numeric. some of them was changed the NA

That’s an Excel problem, not a GEO/R problem or related to limma and Bioconductor.

Thanks alot for the feedback. I also read the file.tsv in R but

You probably have opened that file in Excel before. Get it again directly from GEO2R, or even better take the R script GEO2R offers and run it in R manually. When you want to write things as Excel later to distribute I usually use the openxlsl package which does a good job setting cell categories in a way that this nonsense gibberish does not happen, nor gene2date conversion happens.

I tried to FC column to dbl from chr. But FC colomn is changed by NA

genlist_filter <- read_csv(file = "AD_control5.csv")

genlist_filter
sapply(genlist_filter, class)

cols.num <- c("logFC")
genlist_filter[cols.num] <- sapply(genlist_filter[cols.num],as.numeric)
sapply(filtered_genes, class)
