I think the way to go is to add either a new parameter class and/or a new class for representing the annotation data (in devel there is already code along these lines to make use of SQLite-based annotation packages). Then one would need to define methods for universeBuilder and categoryToEntrezBuilder that extract the required info just using the GO package.

Seth, Thanks for your offer of help on this. I am very much a novice compared to you, but I would be happy to help with coding to move things along at some point. This is not an urgent issue for me, as we are going to submit a grant in a week, so will just outline our methods for now. Mark Mark W.
