[BioC] GSEA ???

Thank you

Our question I think will be rather "simple"

We have porcine Affy GeneChip data from Duroc/Yorkshire deep/shallow wounds
over time and will just ask if any gene sets are enriched in this data

Will probably give them all a try unless you suggest one is clearly "better"

Thank you
