## genMerge: Post-Genomic Analysis

### Description

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.

### Usage

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

### Arguments

`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.

### Note

This function is completly based on GeneMerge from Cristian I. Castillo-Davis and Daniel L. Hartl
