  Gene set enrichment data structures and methods
}
\description{
  This package provides classes and methods to support Gene Set
  Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).  The GeneSet class provides a
  common data structure for representing gene sets. The GeneColorSet
  class allows genes in a set to be associated with phenotypes. The
  GeneSetCollection class facilitates grouping together a list of related
  gene sets. The GeneIdentifierType class hierarchy reflects how genes
  are represented (e.g., Entrez versus symbol) in the gene
  set. mapIdentifiers provides a way to convert identifiers in a set from one
  type to another. The CollectionType class hierarchy reflects how the
  gene set was made, and can order genes into distinct sets or
  collections.
