Hi Weiwei, You may want to have a look at the Bioconductor package OrderedList. It searches for similarities in gene rankings without forcing the user to specify a threshold, where to cut the lists.
Hope this helps, Cheers, Claudio -----Original Message----- From: "Weiwei Shi" [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2008 2:56 AM To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Bioconductor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [BioC] similarity between two gene lists with varied length Dear listers, a little off-topic: I am looking for and compare algorithms which can calculate "distance" or "similarity" between two gene lists with different lengths. Any paper, any implementation in R and any suggestion is welcome! Thanks, -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc. "Did you always know?" "No, I did not.
