[BioC] GO over representation analysis

[Joern Toedling]

Hello,
I was quite happy with the package topGO, which allows you to supply the 
mapping between gene-identifiers and GO term IDs as a list. Such a list 
can be easily created using the biomaRt package to query the Ensembl 
database, or the list can be created from other annotation sources.
The topGO vignette and some previous posts in the archive of the 
Bioconductor list, such as the one below, may provide additional clues 
about how to perform this analysis with topGO.
