     This function retrieves GO information from Ensembl given a gene
     identifier

      id: gene identifier

    type: type of identifier, possible values can be obtained by the
          listFilters function.  Examples are  entrezgene, hgnc_symbol
          (for hugo gene sy mbol), ensembl_gene_id, unigene,
          agilentprobe, affy_hg_u133_plus_2,  refseq_dna, etc.

    mart: object of class Mart, containing connections to the BioMart
          databases.  You can create such an object using the function
          useMart.
