GeneOverlap-package:
Test and visualize overlaps between gene lists
Description
Given two sets of gene lists, this package calculates the overlaps between
all pairs of lists from the two sets. Fisher's exact test is used to
determine the p-value and odds ratio in comparison to a genomic background.
Plotting functions are provided to visualize the results.

To use the package, construct one or two named lists each representing a
gene set. Each list should contain one or more vectors of gene names. Then
use GeneOverlapMatrix to perform pairwise comparisons. It will return an
object that can be used for visualization. The GeneOverlapMatrix calls
GeneOverlap internally to perform comparison between two gene lists.
