In that case, you should be able to use `read.table` to pull the dataset 
in from the TCGA archive and show what code you have used so far. Then 
you can describe in detail what further transformations are desired.


You could have also tried to offer the output of dput(head(meth)) (but 
do so before transforming to matrix. Transfoming to matrix will screw up 
a lot of the information in any dataset that is not entirely numeric.
