Removing NAs from two columns in data frame a shift up

Question

I have this data frame

                               atac.v1.pbmc.5k.possorted.bam.bam possorted.bam.bam
chr1.9941.10736                                 NA                NA
                                             13196              4348
chr1.10918.11476                                NA                NA
                                              2624               658
chr1.20874.21591                                NA                NA
                                               652               343

and I would like to remove the NAs and get this:

                               atac.v1.pbmc.5k.possorted.bam.bam possorted.bam.bam
chr1.9941.10736                              13196              4348                 
chr1.10918.11476                             2624               658                  
chr1.20874.21591                             652                343 
                                             

There are many questions about removing NAs, but I couldn't manage to use any of them to do this. I tried remove NAs and various code to remove white spaces, but wasn't able to.

Answer 1

For R a similar question was already asked here .

Thus when you want to solve it in R you can eg. use the following:

df = data.frame('name'=c('a',NA,'b',NA), 'val'=c(NaN, 1, NaN, 5))
library(dplyr)
na.omit(transform(df, name = lag(name)))

The df is only given to have a minimal running program.

Hi @RicS and @Robert Wilson, after I put dput(df) i get this

"", "s37d5.35353959.35354523", "", "s37d5.35354792.35354991", 
"", "s37d5.35364108.35364390", "", "s37d5.35365154.35365375", 
"", "s37d5.35371939.35372823", "", "s37d5.35373959.35374177", 
"", "s37d5.35382938.35383151", "", "s37d5.35391117.35391934", 
"", "s37d5.35391998.35392218", "", "s37d5.35411836.35412109", 
"", "s37d5.35427424.35427818", "", "s37d5.35431087.35431415", 
"", "s37d5.35431545.35431772", "", "s37d5.35449122.35449455", 
"", "s37d5.35449665.35450121", "", "s37d5.35451782.35451987", 
"", "s37d5.35453892.35454283", ""), c("atac.v1.pbmc.5k.possorted.bam.bam", 
"possorted.bam.bam")))

I just copied and pasted some of it.
