Hi Ana, Here is one way: pathway1<-LETTERS[1:5] pathway2<-c("A","C","F") pathway3<-c("B","D","E") intersect.mat<-matrix(0,nrow=3,ncol=3) rownames(intersect.mat)<-paste("pathway",1:3,sep="") colnames(intersect.mat)<-paste("pathway",1:3,sep="") for(row in 1:3) { for(col in 1:3) intersect.mat[row,col]<- sum(get(rownames(intersect.mat)[row])%in% get(colnames(intersect.mat)[col])) }
