## Get GO terms for a specified ontology

### Description

Find the subset of GO terms for the specified ontology, for each element of the supplied list of associations. The input list is typically from one of the chip-specific meta-data files or from GOLOCUSID2GO.

### Usage

    getOntology(inlist, ontology=c("MF", "BP", "CC"))

### Arguments

`inlist` | A list of GO associations
`ontology` | The name of the ontology you want returned.

### Details

The input list should be a list of lists, each element of `inlist` is itself a list containing the information that maps from a specified ID (usually LocusLink) to GO information. Each element of the inner list is a list with elements `GOID`, `Ontology` and `Evidence`.

### Value

A list of the same length as the input list. Each element of this list will contain a vector of `GOID`s for those terms that match the requested ontology.
