I have many data files named like this: E11.5-021415-dko-1-1-masked-bottom-area.tsv E11.5-021415-dko-1-1-masked-top-area.tsv E11.5-021415-dko-1-2-masked-bottom-area.tsv E11.5-021415-dko-1-2-masked-top-area.tsv E11.5-021415-dko-1-3-masked-bottom-area.tsv E11.5-021415-dko-1-3-masked-top-area.tsv
age-date-genotype-num-slicenum-filler-position-data An individual sample is an age-date-geno-num, each sample has two parts, and is composed of around 10 slices. Each row of the tsv is an area which will be summed for the total area. What I want is a dataframe, with a row for each sample and a column for bottom and top. Under bottom and top, I want each element to be a dataframe with a row for each slice and a column for the area. So I can lapply over this list of files, use strsplit to pull out the slice num and put the area into the correct row of a dataframe easily enough. But I have a line for every datapoint, not sample, and there would be a dataframe for each area. How can I merge all the data for the slices into one data frame? Does this make sense?
