Fisher exact test for 2 by 20000 table and for 4 by 20000 table

Hi friends Is this possible to conduct Fisher-exact test for a 2 by 20000 table and 4 by 20000 table? I want this for contingency table of copy number variation.

gene

What have you tried already? You can import your table in R, perform fisher.test(data) and see if it works

Thanks brunobsouzaa I did fishe.exact test in r. it gives a p-value for all rows. It is for copy number variation analysis. I dont know how to interpret this one p-value for all genes in my groups. I have 4 groups (4 columns): male-amplification, male deletion, female-amplification, female-deletion and 20000 rows(gene names). Or I dont know if i have to compare female- amplification vs male amplification in a different table and female-deletion vs male-deletion in a different table?

Can you post an example of your data? You can perform all comparisons that may work for your project. I would create different tables for different comparisons. "Play" with your data, you may find some interesting results!
