\title{Calculate the number of shared synthetic genetic interactions
  between pairs of genes.}
\description{
 The number of common synthetic genetic
  interacting partners between two genes.

\usage{getSharedInteraction(iMat, mode="query")}
\arguments{
  \item{iMat}{Adjacency matrix reporting genetic Interactions. Each entry has value 0 or 1,
    representing positive or negative interaction of corresponding pairs
    of row and column, respectively.}
  \item{mode}{Character vector of value "query" or "target"}
  
}

\value{

    of query or target genes.
