The
DAVID Knowledgebase, a backend database used for all DAVID
bioinformatics tools, is built around the "DAVID Gene Concept", a
single- linkage method to agglomerate tens of million of gene/protein
identifiers and associated annotation from dozens of well-known
bio-databases. Most importantly, throughout the entire database, all
the gene identifiers and annotation contents were clustered and
centralized by one single index, DAVID Gene Identifiers. Combined
with the
simple pair-wise text format, the DAVID Knowledgebase provides not only
a comprehensive, high quality collection of gene annotation resources,
but also the flexibility to cross-reference gene identifiers and
heterogeneous annotations
from almost all well-known, world-class, databases within one
resource. We hope that you will find that DAVID Knowledgebase, one of
the best integrated annotation bio-databases as we believe, will
significantly benefit your research on high-throughput gene functional
analysis .
