A 'gene_id' or 'gene_short_name' from which to look up an expression profile OR a vector of expression values to compare all genes (vector must have same length and order of 'samples')
n
Number of similar genes to return
distThresh
A thresholding value on which to filter results based on JS-distance (e.g. A distThresh of 1.0 will return all genes, 0.0 will return those genes with 'perfect identity' to the gene of interest.)
returnGeneSet
A logical value whether to return a CuffGeneSet object [default] or a distance-ranked data frame of similar genes. The latter is useful if you want to explore the returned list based on distances.

Additional arguments to fpkmMatrix call within findSimilar (e.g. fullnames=T)
Value
A CuffGeneSet object of n most similar genes to x.
Details
By default, returns a CuffGeneSet object with n similar genes. This may change in the future.
