Dear Dr Holtman,

Thank you very much for your response.

What I want is avarege data points in a data.frame from probes which represent the same gene (ie have the same UniGene ID).

For example in the table below probe sets in rows 3 and 4 both represent the CEP57 gene.

UNIQID UniGene Gene 1_SL 2_SL 17_SL 18_SL  38_ SL
1175390 Hs.10095 MLLT1 -0.00595 0.62315 0.85315 1.11215 -0.195
1175392 Hs.10101 C1orf166 -0.4945 -0.04025 0.1299 -0.00575 -0.1824
1187428 Hs.101014 CEP57 0.60085 0.2564 -0.42885 -0.57635 -0.14735
1193447 Hs.101014 CEP57 -0.15625 -0.1681 -0.4891 -0.29995 NA
1173756 Hs.1011 PROZ -0.7211 -0.68895 0.4651 0.30815 0.1133

I would like to make R find the matching UniGene IDs and average expression values for each sample.
The result would look like the table below:

UNIQID UniGene Gene 1_SL 2_SL 17_SL 18_SL  38_ SL
1175390 Hs.10095 MLLT1 -0.00595 0.62315 0.85315 1.11215 -0.195
1175392 Hs.10101 C1orf166 -0.4945 -0.04025 0.1299 -0.00575 -0.1824
1199466 Hs.101014 CEP57 0.2223 0.04415 -0.458975 -0.43815 -0.14735
1173756 Hs.1011 PROZ -0.7211 -0.68895 0.4651 0.30815 0.1133

I am sorry for the naivness of my question, but I am not a trained biostatistician just need to analyze data.

It would be helpful if you included a sample of the data so that we
could understand what you would like to do with it (before/after
pictures).
