The DAVID Gene Functional Classification Tool: a novel biological module-centric algorithm to functionally analyze large gene lists

The DAVID Gene Functional Classification Tool http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov uses a novel agglomeration algorithm to condense a list of genes or associated biological terms into organized classes of related genes or biology, called biological modules. This organization is accomplished by mining the complex biological co-occurrences found in multiple sources of functional annotation. It is a powerful method to group functionally related genes and terms into a manageable number of biological modules for efficient interpretation of gene lists in a network context.
