Thank you very much Jim and David for your scripts and accompanying 
explanations.

I was intrigued at the results that came from David's script.  As seen 
below where I have taken a small piece of his DataTable:

AT1G69490 AT1G29860    AT4G18170 *AT5G46350*
AT1G01560    0    0    0    1
*AT1G02920*    1    2    2    4
AT1G02930    1    2    2    4
AT1G05675    1    1    1    2

    There are numbers other than 1 or 0, which was not what I was 
expecting. The data I am working with come from downloading results of 
an analysis done at a particular web site. I looked at Jim's solution, 
and the equivalent of the above would be:

     AT1G69490 _AT1G29860_ _AT1G29860_ AT4G18170    AT4G18170 
*AT5G46350    AT5G46350 AT5G46350    AT5G46350    AT5G46350*
AT1G01560    NA    NA    NA    NA    NA    NA NA    NA    AT1G01560    NA
*AT1G02920*    AT1G02920    AT1G02920 AT1G02920    AT1G02920    
AT1G02920    AT1G02920    AT1G02920 AT1G02920    AT1G02920    NA
AT1G02930    AT1G02930    AT1G02930    AT1G02930 AT1G02930    
AT1G02930    AT1G02930    AT1G02930    AT1G02930 AT1G02930    NA
AT1G05675    AT1G05675    AT1G05675    NA AT1G05675    NA    
AT1G05675    AT1G05675    NA    NA    NA

   The above is the format that I was desiring, but I was not expecting 
that a single ATG number would be the name of multiple columns. As shown 
above, _AT1G2960_ is the name of two columns and *AT5G46350* is the name 
of 5 columns (You may have to widen the e-mail across the screen to see 
it clearly). When a single ATG number, such as AT5G46350, names multiple 
columns, then the contents of each of those columns may or may not be 
the same. For example, going across a single row looking at *AT1G02920*, 
it occurs in the first column, hence the 1 in David's DataTable. It 
occurs in both AT1G29860 columns, hence the 2 in the DataTable. It again 
occurs in both AT4G18170 columns, so another 2 in the DataTable, and 
finally it occurs in only 4 of the 5 AT5G46350 columns, so the 4 in the 
DataTable.

     When the same ATG number names multiple columns it is because 
different methods were used to determine the content of each column. So, 
if an ATG number such as AT1G05675 occurs in all columns with the same 
name, I then know that it was by multiple methods that this has been 
shown, and if it only occurs in some of the columns, I know that all 
methods did not associate it with the column name ATG.  David's result 
complements Jim's, and both end up being very helpful to me.

   Thanks again to both of you for your time and help.

If each value of "hits" was a single character string, it would only have 2 factor levels not 6 and your efforts to parse the string would make more sense. Transposing to a data frame would only be possible if each column was padded with NAs to make them equal in length. Since your example tries use the name TF2list, it is possible that you do not have a data frame but a list and you have no factor levels, just character vectors.
