The GO package itself does not contain any entrez gene IDs however. Those IDs are normally found as mappings in other organism specific or platform specific packages. So I think that what you are going to be missing (if you need a map of go terms that are paired with entrez gene IDs) is a "go term to entrez gene ID" mapping for your organism. Nobody has to my knowledge made an annotation package for this species yet. So your options are going to be to either 1) try to use the AnnBuilder package to just make an annotation package for this critter or 2) figure out what maps you are missing and just make those on the fly in R from the annotations you found at the sanger. Hopefully this will help you get started, Marc
