     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.
