You need to define your terms more clearly.  If the datasets have vectors of
tokens identifying genes, R's intersect() function will give you a
start.  If the datasets
are annotated with diverse vocabularies (probe IDs in one, entrez IDs
in another) you
will have to harmonize them somehow.  GSEABase package provides some
facilities for translating token sets.  Departures from 1-1
correspondence are common and policies for simplifying maps need to be
devised.
