## An R Package for retrieving data from DAVID into R objects using Web Services

### Description

Tools for retrieving data from the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) using Web Services into R objects. This package offers the main functionalities of DAVID website including:

Connectivity:

  upload gene/background list/s, change gene/background position, select current specie/s, select annotations, etc. from R.

Exploration:

  native R objects of submitted Gene List, Annotation Category Summary, Gene/Term Clusters, Functional Annotation Chart and Functional Annotation Tables. In addition it offers the usual many-genes-to-many-terms visualization and induced Gene Ontology direct acyclic graph GOstats-based conversion method, in order to visualize GO structure.
