David provides a comprehensive set of functional annotation tools to help understand the biological meaning behind large gene lists Powered by the david knowledgebase, it integrates multiple sources of functional annotations. As the result of continuous improvement, david provides a large integrated annotation knowledgebase based on the david gene concept since v2.x, a method to agglomerate heterogeneous and widely distributed public databases. For a single list file upload, david was designed to accept the identifiers starting from the first row without a header The list needs to be in a format of one gene/protein identifier per row and only the first column is considered in the analysis. This tool quickly links the user's list to the breadth of annotation contained in the david knowledgebase with no statistical inference and is well suited for looking at genes on an individual basis, providing links to more detailed information about the associated annotation. It can quickly give a global idea about the gene The hyperlinks throughout the report will lead to users to original resources for further details David pathway viewer displays user genes on static pathway maps generated by biocarta and kegg. The related term searching algorithm 1 Introduction typically, a biological process/term is a cooperationof a set of genes If two or more biological processes are done by similar set of genes, the processes might be related in the biological network somehow To identify the related biological processes/terms can help biologists to assemble a bigger biological picture for better understanding. With the comprehensive identifier mapping system in david, many given gene/protein identifiers can be quickly mapped to another based on the user's choice The tool also automatically suggests possible choices for the ambiguous gene/protein identifiers in the list.
