[BioC] how to build a GOstats-compatible annotation package for plasmodium falciparum?

[Paul Shannon]

Hi Marc,

It sounds like you have your hands full!

Would it be crazy if we were to undertake this ourselves, at the SBRI?
I am thinking of an organism-based package (like YEAST) rather than
a chip-specific package.

Does the new pipeline create annotation packages which work with
GOstats and GSEA?
