Greetings all, Using limma's fitting approach and topTable(), I have reached the nice point of having produced lists of annotated interesting genes. Graphically, I can now compare across my contrasts using Venn diagrams, and I can build Volcano plots etc. As I am making my early steps into Gene Ontology, I believe that the audience before which I will present my data will expect me to highlight which Biological Processes were significantly (and with what significance) involved in my experiments, and what differences I found across my contrasts. What solutions are available via Bioconductor to address these data analysis and reporting questions? Is GOstats useful in this regard? My major reference is ' Bioinformatics and computational biology solutions using R and Bioconductor'. I have tried to use the annaffy package and aafTableAnn(), with its subsequent html export mode, but this outputs all three ontologies, whereas I may wish to limit myself to Biological Processes for the moment. Also, I would prefer to see an output in which BP GOs are listed with the number of my 'interesting genes' falling into them. Not sure whether this is a standard way of reporting these data, but I hope that you may have some simple advice on this matter. Thanking you in advance, Yours, Massimo P.
