Hi Aaron, The "R magic" is to use do.call() function. Check the manual for more details on its functionality. The only 'trick' here is to build the second argument. > data(GOdata) > data(results.tGO) > ls() [1] "GOdata" "resultFisher" "resultKS" > res <- list(fisher = resultFisher, ks = resultKS) > do.call(GenTable, c(object = GOdata, res)) GO.ID Term Annotated Significant Expected Rank in ks fisher ks 1 GO:0006091 generation of precursor metabolites and ... 8 6 1.26 14 0.00025 0.0012 2 GO:0022900 electron transport chain 8 6 1.26 15 0.00025 0.0012 3 GO:0009267 cellular response to starvation 6 5 0.94 16 0.00043 0.0016 4 GO:0042594 response to starvation 6 5 0.94 17 0.00043 0.0016 5 GO:0032946 positive regulation of mononuclear cell ... 30 12 4.72 28 0.00062 0.0120 6 GO:0050671 positive regulation of lymphocyte prolif... 30 12 4.72 29 0.00062 0.0120 7 GO:0006636 unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic proc... 9 6 1.42 20 0.00066 0.0032 8 GO:0033559 unsaturated fatty acid metabolic process 9 6 1.42 21 0.00066 0.0032 9 GO:0031667 response to nutrient levels 7 5 1.10 23 0.00131 0.0054 10 GO:0031669 cellular response to nutrient levels 7 5 1.10 24 0.00131 0.0054 Hope this helps.
