Bioinfo: David

Welcome to bioinformatics. It’s not just running BLAST on a Sunday afternoon.

DAVID Functional Annotation Bioinformatics Microarray Analysis

I found 10,000 variants. The lab expected 5. Did I mis-call indels? Is there a batch effect? Did someone accidentally use the mouse reference genome again? (It happened once. Once.) david bioinfo

: Identifies biological themes (e.g., specific pathways or diseases) that are overrepresented in a gene list. Welcome to bioinformatics

Why ‘rm -rf’ is scarier than a pipette tip, and other truths of digital biology.

: Integrates data from sources like GO (Gene Ontology) (molecular functions, cellular components, and biological processes) and KEGG (metabolic and signaling pathways). The lab expected 5

Unlike many proprietary software suites, DAVID remains completely free for both academic and commercial users, requiring no login to access its primary tools. How to Use DAVID for Research Using DAVID typically follows a straightforward workflow:

If you see me staring blankly at a scatter plot at 4 PM, I’m not stuck. I’m just visualizing principal components and questioning my career choices. 😉

I smile. I type. I invoke the sacred magic:
