[BioC] Goseq plot

Hi Al,

To me the plot looks like a perfectly good fit to the data. The thing is
that it doesn't look like there is much gene length bias in the plot that
you have shown. I'm not really sure why this would be as it is usually a
strong effect but perhaps the biological signal is even stronger than this
technical effect? You might just want to check the matching of your gene
length annotation to DE genes, just in case.

Cheers,
Alicia
