[BioC] select genes from a table above a threshold

[Thomas Girke]

You may want to get familiar with basic R comparisons applied to matrices 
(or data frames), and how to add up the logical results with functions 
like rowSums(). The rest is standard subsetting of R objects with logical 
vectors. 

Here is a simple example for finding all genes (rows) that have at least
x instances of a given comparison per row (x here >=1). 

y <- matrix(rnorm(50), 10, 5, dimnames=list(paste("g", 1:10, sep=""), paste("t", 1:5, sep="")))
myQ <- y >= 1
myQcount <- rowSums(myQ) # counts TRUE values per row
y[myQcount>=1,]

I hope this helps.
