The "Elevator Pitch" That Changed Genomics

In the early 2000s, a biologist named Dr. Da Wei Huang had a frustrating problem. He had just run a microarray experiment and had a list of 500 genes that were "differentially expressed." He knew the names of these genes—BRCA1, TP53, AKT1—but he had no idea what they meant together.

How to Use DAVID (Brief Workflow)

  1. Submit gene list – Upload a list of gene identifiers (Entrez, RefSeq, Affymetrix, etc.).
  2. Select background – Choose a suitable genome-wide background (or upload custom).
  3. Choose annotation categories – Select GO terms, pathways, etc.
  4. Run analysis – Get enrichment results, clustered terms, and downloadable tables.
  5. Export – Save charts, lists, or integration-ready files.

DAVID offers a suite of analytical tools to process submitted gene lists: david bioinformatics resources

2. Gene Ontology (GO) and Pathway Analysis

DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery) is a web-based tool that allows users to analyze and visualize biological data from various sources, including microarray, RNA-seq, and protein sequencing experiments. DAVID provides a user-friendly interface to perform functional annotation, pathway analysis, and network analysis of large-scale biological data. Submit gene list – Upload a list of
