Dear Ramya,

Try

# Gene list with 3 genes
genelist=list(gene1=rnorm(100),gene2=rnorm(100),gene3=rnorm(100))
genelist

# Map file with 50 genes
mapfile=data.frame(gene=paste("gene",1:50,sep=""),coordinate=runif(50,61800000,63000000))
mapfile

# Genes in genelist (names)
NAMES=names(genelist)
NAMES

# Which genes' names of genelist are in mapfile
which(NAMES%in%mapfile[,1])

# What are the names?
NAMES[which(NAMES%in%mapfile[,1])]

# mapfile information for those genes
mapfile[which(NAMES%in%mapfile[,1]),]


HTH,

Jorge
