[BioC] obtain a list of possible oncogenes from the annotation packages?

As far as I am aware of this is not currently possible. You could look up
"oncogene" at the NCBI Gene site and save the result as a list of Entrez Gene
IDs (UID) which can easily be integrated with the BioC annotation packages for
further analysis.

Best wishes.
