\title{Compare pathways}
\usage{
diceSim(g1, g2)
}
\arguments{
\item{g1, g2}{A character list with the names of the proteins in each pathway.}
}
\value{
A score between 0 and 1 calculated as the double of the proteins
shared by g1 and g2 divided by the number of genes in both groups.
}
\description{
Function to estimate how much two list of genes overlap by looking
how much of the nodes are shared. Calculates the Dice similarity
}
\details{
It requires a vector of characters otherwise will return an \code{NA}.

\examples{
genes.id2 <- c("52", "11342", "80895", "57654", "548953", "11586", "45985")

    "52", "11342", "80895", "57654", "58493", "1164", "1163",
