[BioC] Detecting overrepresented genomic loci

[Yi, Andrew]

You can try
DigMap system can detect differential regions based on either expression
array or CGH array

You might look at GLAD, DNAcopy, and aCGH as possibilities, but this
isn't exactly what you want, I suppose given that you have a set of
differentially expressed genes already.  Another tact is to look at
something like WebGestalt (online tool).  It allows you to give a set of
genes as input and can plot where these genes are on the genome.  
Finally, you could use something like Fisher exact test by region or
chromosome arm to determine the "significance" of clustering by region
but this would require some coding on your part.
