clusterProfiler was used to visualize DAVID results in a paper published in BMC Genomics.

Some users told me that they may want to use DAVID at some circumstances. I think it maybe a good idea to make clusterProfiler supports DAVID, so that DAVID users can use visualization functions provided by clusterProfiler.

There are only 5085 human genes annotated by KEGG, this is due to out-of-date DAVID data.

With enrichDAVID, compare DAVID functional profiles among different gene clusters is also supported.

As I pointed out in KEGG enrichment analysis with latest online data using clusterProfiler, there are many webservers using out of date data. This may leads to different interpretation of biological results. DAVID’s data is also out of date. DAVID stopped updating database since 2010. This is why I love Bioconductor, almost all the annotation packages are maintained by Bioconductor core team and will be updated biannual. enrichGO and enrichKEGG is more reliable with more updated data than many other tools.
