Why awk script does not work on Mac OS but works on Linux?

Question

I have this awk script that I use to filter genes that are differentially expressed. I have a csv file that was created in R.

 #Command to get DE genes
awk -

I also had the same problem. Installing gawk on OSX 10.11.2 through brew solved my issue.

~$ brew install gawk
~$ gawk --version | head -n 1
GNU Awk 4.1.4, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.4-p1, GNU MP 6.1.1)
