Unlisting a dataframe from a list of a list - r

I want to extract a dataframe from a list that is also inside a list. Also some dataframes have different number of columns than others. This is what i have used without success.
Name of the first list is comments.
df <- do.call(rbind.fill,comments)
When i try
df <- do.call(rbind.fill,comments[[1]])
it does work, but i would like for all the dataframes to be together as one.
I know that this is not a reproducible example, but please bear with me, as this would take some time to repproduce, and i think the problem is clear enough.
Thanks

R: Searching a column in a dataframe for matches to a reference list in another dataframe

I am trying to categorize genes with multiple GO descriptors into bins based on what those GO descriptors are related to. I have dataframe A which contains the raw data associated with a list of geneIDs (>500,000) and their associated GO descriptors and dataframe B which classifies these GO descriptors into larger groups.
Example of dataframe A
dfA
Example of dataframe B
dfB
Ideally, the final output would reference the entire list and generate a new column in dataframe A classifying the GeneIDs into the GO_Category's associated with its specific GO_IDs -- bonus points if it removes duplicate hits on the GO_Categorys.
Looking something like this...
Example of Ideal Solution
However, I know that the ideal solution might be difficult to obtain, and I already have dataframe B listed out based on the unique GO_Categories so a solution like this might be easier to obtain.
Example of Acceptable Solution
So far I have struggled with getting any command to search for partial strings using a list from another dataframe with the goal of returning all matches.
I have had partial success with the acceptable solution approach and using:
dfA <- dfA %>%
mutate(GO_Cat_1 = c('No', 'Yes')[1+str_detect(dfA$GO_IDs, as.character(dfB$GO_IDs))])
The solution seems okay, however, it does return an error along the lines of
problem with mutate() column GO_Cat_1.
i GO_Cat_1 = ...[].
i longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
I have also tried to look into applying grepl/grep - but struggled to feed it a list of terms to look for partial string matches in dfA.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

How to mutate the values in a R list object?

I have a list named "binom" that looks as follows:
"estimate_" values are probabilities that I want to reverse (to do a calculation "1-value"). How to mutate these values in this list?
I googled but did not find a code for doing this. I need the list afterwards as a list for plotting.
Try looking at ?base::transform or ?dplyr::mutate
You will first need to subset your list to the element you want to manipulate:
library(dplyr)
binom[[1]] %>%
mutate(newcol = 1 - estimate_)
You can learn more about data transformation here
In the future, it's helpful to provide a mock dataset with your question instead of a screenshot, so that people have something to work with when attempting to answer your questions.

R function for identifying values from one column in another?

I have two different data frames, each of them consisting of a list of "genes" and a list of "interactors" (other genes). Is it possible with R to check if there any "genes" from one list that are also present in any of the columns of "interactors" from the other data frame, and vice-versa?
I am quite new in R, so perhaps there is an easy way to perform this, but I don't even know how to look for it.
Thanks in advance!
Guillermo.
please can you show a sample of your data?
In any case, I guess the following is what you need:
df_common<-data.frame(df[which(df$genes %in% df$interactors),])
it is checking which elements in the column "genes" in the data frame df are also present %in% the column "interactors" in the same data frame
Is it this what you are looking for? if not, please paste input and desired output

Name new dataframes from character vectors - loop

I think this one is easy but I still can't figure it out and I really need help with this. I've looked everywhere but still couldn't find it.
Let's say I have this vector:
filenames <- c("fn1", "fn2", "fn3")
And I want to associate them with an dataframe that is created according to a function, that is generated at that time
df|name from filenames[i]| <- df
so it would return these dataframes
dffn1
dffn2
dffn3
I hope I made myself clear. My problem is create a new data frame and name it according to a list or whatever, in a for loop.
You can use assign to achieve what you want.
for(nms in filenames){
assign(paste('df',nms,sep=''), df) }

Changing a List to a Dataframe in R

I have used the "htmltab" library to get data on the NFL draft and combine. The data has been selected fine but they are lists at the moment. I intend to merge them and perform analysis the data. at the moment it looks like this:
image List of combine 2016 1
Whenever I try use the unlist method I lose the headers of the columns and they are still remaining as a list.
any suggestions on this?
urlcom16 <- "http://nflcombineresults.com/nflcombinedata.php?
year=2016&pos=&college="
com16 <- htmltab(doc=urlcom16, which=1)
Try as.data.frame(com16). If it doesn't work, you might not have the same vector length in each list entry.
