Your brain cannot synthesize that noise. DAVID can.
DAVID doesn't just count genes. It uses a modified Fisher Exact p-value (EASE score). Look for terms with a p-value < 0.05 after Benjamini correction (FDR). The lower the p-value, the stronger the signal. david functional annotation
DAVID uses . Instead of reading genes, it reads Gene Ontology (GO) terms, pathways (KEGG), protein domains (InterPro), and disease associations. How DAVID Works (The 3-Step Magic) Step 1: Upload your list. Paste your gene symbols, Entrez IDs, or Affymetrix probes. You don't need to know the format; DAVID auto-detects it. Your brain cannot synthesize that noise
For 80% of biologists who need to answer, "What is my gene list doing?" DAVID is the best tool ever made. Use it, cite it, and never present a raw gene list to your PI again. It uses a modified Fisher Exact p-value (EASE score)
