Not that I know of. And certainly not something that you can plug in a
bunch of rs numbers and automagically get all kinds of info returned.
Any response depends on what you mean by 'association with genes'. If
you mean something naive like 'is this SNP between the 5' and 3' UTR of
some gene, then you could use the org.Xx.eg.db package for your organism
along with the IRanges package to find SNPs that are 'in' genes.
Anything more sophisticated than that will likely require you to write
your own functions and/or use software outside the Bioconductor project.
Best,
Jim
