Hi,

package : GO.db
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/annotation/html/GO.db.html

package : topGO
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/topGO.html

I was using topGO for gene ontology analysis and was wondering if the same
statics methods can be used on other ontologies such as Disease Ontology.
Does anyone know how to configure topGO to accept customize ontologies?

I also notices that topGO uses GO.db package to build the R object so it
should be possible to build other ontology objects in topGO giving a
similar XX.db file. I have done some search in the previous emails from the
bioconductor email list and couldn't find any thing about building your own
GO.db . So I was wondering if there is any thing available for converting
an ontology file(e.g. .obo) into a XXX.db file that can be use in topGO?

Many thanks,
Xin
