KEGGSim: KEGG Semantic Similarity Between two Genes

In ppiPre: Predict Protein-Protein Interactions Based on Functional and Topological Similarities

Description

Given two genes, this function will calculate the KEGG semantic similarity between them, based on the shared pathways between the genes.

Usage

KEGGSim(protein1, protein2)

Arguments

protein1	Entrez gene id.
protein2	Another entrez gene id.

Value

The KEGG semantic similarity, using the Jaccard index.
