## Pairwise Semantic Similarities for a List of Gene Clusters

### Description

Given a list of gene clusters, this function calculates pairwise semantic similarities.

### Usage

    mclusterSim(clusters, semData, measure = "Wang", drop = "IEA", combine = "BMA")

### Arguments

`clusters` | A list of gene clusters.
`semData` | GOSemSimDATA object
`measure` | One of "Resnik", "Lin", "Rel", "Jiang" and "Wang" methods.
`drop` | A set of evidence codes based on which certain annotations are dropped. Use NULL to keep all GO annotations.
`combine` | One of "max", "avg", "rcmax", "BMA" methods, for combining semantic similarity scores of multiple GO terms associated with protein or multiple proteins assiciated with protein cluster.

### Value

similarity matrix
