The expanded DAVID Knowledgebase now integrates almost all major and well-known public bioinformatics resources centralized by the DAVID Gene Concept, a single-linkage method to agglomerate tens of millions of diverse gene/protein identifiers and annotation terms from a variety of public bioinformatics databases. The grouping of such identifiers improves the cross-reference capability, particularly across NCBI and UniProt systems, enabling more than 40 publicly available functional annotation sources to be comprehensively integrated and centralized by the DAVID gene clusters. Functional analysis of large gene lists, derived in most cases from emerging high-throughput genomic, proteomic and bioinformatics scanning approaches, is still a challenging and daunting task.

The conversion tool converts between different gene/protein identifiers such as gene symbol, Ensembl, NCBI Gene ID, etc. The Gene Functional Classification tool groups genes based on functional similarity. This organization is accomplished by mining the complex biological co-occurrences found in multiple sources of functional annotation. Database Commons a catalog of worldwide biological The gene search tool allows a user to search for a gene/protein identifier such as gene symbol, Ensembl, NCBI Gene ID, etc without uploading a full list. This unit will describe step-by-step procedures to use DAVID tools, as well as a brief rationale and key parameters in the DAVID analysis. Approximately 68 bioinformatics enrichment tools that are currently available in the community are collected in this survey. Thus, the survey will help tool designers/developers and experienced end users understand the underlying algorithms and pertinent details of particular tool categories/tools, enabling them to make the best choices for their particular research interests. Finally, we added a species parameter for uploading a list of gene symbols to minimize the ambiguity between species, which increases the efficiency of the list upload and eliminates confusion for users. Moreover, we have incorporated new annotations in the Knowledgebase including small molecule-gene interactions from PubChem, drug-gene interactions from DrugBank, tissue expression information from the Human Protein Atlas, disease information from DisGeNET, and pathways from WikiPathways and PathBank.Finally, we added a species parameter for uploading a list of gene symbols to minimize the ambiguity between species, which increases the efficiency of the list upload and eliminates confusion for users.The expanded DAVID Knowledgebase now integrates almost all major and well-known public bioinformatics resources centralized by the DAVID Gene Concept, a single-linkage method to agglomerate tens of millions of diverse gene/protein identifiers and annotation terms from a variety of public bioinformatics databases.Approximately 68 bioinformatics enrichment tools that are currently available in the community are collected in this survey.DAVID bioinformatics resources consists of an integrated biological knowledgebase and analytic tools aimed at systematically extracting biological meaning from large gene/protein lists.The Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) provides a comprehensive set of functional annotation tools to help understand the biological meaning of large gene lists.High-throughput genomics screening studies, such as microarray, proteomics, etc., often result in large, "interesting" gene lists, ranging in size from hundreds to thousands of genes.The DAVID Ortholog tool provides conversion and analysis of gene lists across species.
