_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     After we finished our slice analysis we get a up-regulated and
     down-regulated set. This will be the set of study genes for
     genMege. Given this set, genMerge retrieves functional genomic
     data for each gene and provides statistical rank scores for
     over-representation of particular functions in the dataset.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     genMerge(gene.association, description, population.genes,
     study.genes, output.file = "GenMerge.txt")

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

gene.association: The gene-association file links gene names with a
          particular datum of information using a shorthand of
          gene-association IDS

description: The description file contains human-readable description
          of gene-association IDS

population.genes: Set of all genes detected on a array

study.genes: Set of genes may be those that are up-regulated or
          down-regulated or both of them.

output.file: The name of output file that includes all results obtained
          after this analisys.
