[BioC] Annotation of orthologs

[Joern Toedling]

Hi Nick,

this can be done with the biomaRt package. Have a look at the function getLDS.
The vignette of biomaRt includes one example of using this function (Task 11).
You may need to translate your probe identifiers to mouse entrezgene or
Ensembl IDs in order to use this function.

Regards,
Joern
