Dear R'ers,
I would like to use barplot or a similar function to plot data
demonstrating the distribution of the length of a kind of conservation in
about 25000 DNA sequences. My data look like this:
#Total sequences: 23873
0 19936
1 218
2 391
3 477
4 360
5 431
6 294
7 215
8 320
9 209
10 160
(.....)
99 0
100 1
101 0
102 0
103 1
104 0
105 0
106 0
107 0
108 0
109 1
Therefore, I would like to show the column representing 0 (with 19936
sequences) "cut" so it doesn't dominate the rest of the plot. Also,
starting from about 10 sequences, I would like to group the rest of the
sequences into groups of 5 each (for instance, 10-15, 16-20, 21-25 etc).
I have looked extensively in the help pages and in some online fora, but
have not found an answer to this question. I would greatly appreciate any
tips. Thanks, Peter
