Calculating Expression Frequency with R and Tidyverse: A Simple Solution to Analyze Genomic Data
Here is a high-quality code that solves the problem using R and tidyr libraries: # Load necessary libraries library(tidyverse) # Assuming 'data' is your original data data %>% count(Genes, levels, name = "total") %>% ungroup() %>% mutate(frequency = total / sum(total, na.rm = TRUE)) This code uses the count() function from the tidyr library to calculate the frequency of each expression level for each gene. The ungroup() function is used to remove the grouping by Gene and Levels, which was added in the count() step.
