[BioC] Odds Ratio in GOstat [resolved?]

[Naomi Altman]

The duplicate genes problem is an interesting one.  The reason the 
selected gene list includes duplicates is because it comes from 
blasting an EST set from an unsequenced species against a sequenced 
species.  The duplicates are supposed to be the nearest homolog of 
the EST but to represent multiple genes.  How to handle this for GO 
enrichment is an interesting question.

e.g.  Annotation has genes A B C.
We observe that matches A1 A2 and B1 are upregulated, but  B2 and C 
are not.  Should we say that 3 out of 5 are upregulated, or 2 out of 3?
