Thank you for the help! I tried using the read.table command in my RStudio using the following argument, and managed to open the file.
GBM_protein_expression<-read.table(file.choose(), header=TRUE, sep=“/t”) However, my data did not unpack as yours did. I again only received a table of true and flase distinctions per column, and my environment tab says that there is 0 observations upon 0 variables. I believe I should be getting data similar to what you got, as it would appear that your’s actually contains relevant gene/protein expression info.
