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 .

Explore mini-example-version of DAVID Knowledgebase to understand the actual data structure and usage.
(Note: The file name and data structure of the mini-example-version are exactly as same as that in the actual version except with exampled contents only. It is much easilier for users to study the file & data structure on small files before moving to actual files below.)
