I had met similar problem when I worked with yeast. It should be able to
solve by the following example:

(First you got your whole genename list, right?)

> example=c("ab","cd","ef","cd1","cd2","c2d")
> example[grep("cd",example)]
[1] "cd"  "cd1" "cd2"
>
"grep" function may help you here.

Does this answer your question?

Good luck,
Di
