Hello,

I have a file containing 11300 genes, looking like this:

A   active      B
B   inactive    C
C   unknown     E
D   active      D
E   inactive    A
A   active      C
B   unknown     A
C   inactive    D
D   active      E
E   active      B

After I stack the genes, I get a matrix like this:

A   active
B   inactive
C   unknown
D   active
E   inactive
A   active
B   unknown
C   inactive
D   active
E   active
B   active
C   inactive
E   unknown
D   active
A   inactive
C   active
A   unknown
D   inactive
E   active
B   active

Then, I remove the duplicates and I get the following output:

A   active
B   inactive
C   unknown
D   active
E   inactive
B   unknown
C   inactive
E   active
B   active
E   unknown
A   inactive
C   active
A   unknown
D   inactive

After that, I would like to have a matrix like this:

    Active  Inactive    Unknown
A      1        1          1
B      1        1          1
C      1        1          1
D      1        1          0
E      1        1          1

I tried with the followong syntax:

m <- matrix(nrow = 1467, ncol = 4)
for(column in 1){
  m[, column] <- nodes$values
}

But with that I just construct the matrix without filling it. The 1467 is the total number of uniquegenes in my file. Can someone help me?
