[R] reshaping the data

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Bogdan,
If you want something like this:

             22M     17M     11M
AEBP1  SNV     SNV     NA
ATR       INDEL   NA       NA
ATR       SNV     NA        NA
BTK        NA       NA      SNV
BTK       NA       NA       INDEL

You're in trouble with repeated row names. Same with column names if
you add extra columns for repeated values. You'll have to change
something in order to make this consistent.
