Research direction

Start by reading the two linked studies, including the Reactome-only analysis and the ComPath comparison of WikiPathways, Reactome, and KEGG. Investigate how the overlap coefficient could support the proposed pathway-resource comparison; no files, tests, or entry points are named, so the completion criteria need to be clarified.
