[BioC] HGNC annotation for use in GOstats

[Boel Brynedal]

Dear All,

I am attempting a fairly simple thing: performing a hypergeometric test for gene sets using GOstats. My gene set is in HGNC symbols as is my 'gene universe’ vector. But GOstats seems to require entrez IDs. Could anyone point me to a hgnc annotation package that includes entrez IDs? Or any other way to run GOstats using HGNC symbols. 

Thank you,
Bo
