Maybe with 'merge', but your message is too vague (see http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).

Something like:
# Sample data
g1<-c("gene1", "gene2", "gene3",
"gene4", "gene5", "gene9", "gene10",
"geneA")
g2<-c("gene6", "gene9", "gene1",
"gene2", "gene7", "gene8", "gene9",
"gene1", "gene10")
df1<-cbind(gene=g1, expr=runif(length(g1)))
df2<-cbind(gene=g2, expr=runif(length(g2)))
# Merge
mdf<-merge(df1, df2, by="gene", sort=T)
# Unique list
ug<-unique(mdf[,"gene"])
You may find the "match" command useful and/or the "%in%"
opertaor.
