BioCor: A package to calculate functional similarities

Description

Calculates a functional similarity measure between gene identifiers based on the pathways described on KEGG and REACTOME.

Important functions

• pathSim(): Calculates the similarity between two pathways.

• geneSim(): Calculates the similarity (based on pathSim) between two genes.

• clusterSim(): Calculates the similarity between two clusters of genes by joining pathways of each gene.

• clusterGeneSim(): Calculates the similarity between two clusters of genes by comparing the similarity between the genes of a cluster.

• similarities(): Allows to combine the value of matrices of similarities.

• conversions(): Two functions to convert similarity measures.

• weighted(): Functions provided to combine similarities.
