Some interesting website

Today when I am surfing online, I found some website very interesting.
First, metabolicvisualizer, very creative website. It lets you control the contents of the involved elements, such as glucose, ATP, and so on. With your adjusting, the reactions inside the big cycle area are automatically adjusted. Very interesting.

Second, DAVID, The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. DAVID now provides a comprehensive set of functional annotation tools for investigators to understand biological meaning behind large list of genes.

A paper published in Nature Protocols describes step-by-step procedure to use DAVID:

Systematic and integrative analysis of large gene lists using DAVID Bioinformatics Resources. (2009) Nat. Protoc. 4:44 -57.

Note: This paper, commissioned by the Nature-branded journal -- Nature Protocols, systematically describes the rationals and procedures to use the DAVID Bioinformatics tools. By following the step-by-step procedure in the paper, readers will be able to more efficiently use DAVID bioinformatics tools for high-throughput gene functional analysis, leading to more meaningful analytic experiences and maximal satisfactory results. In this moment, subscription to Natrue web site is required to view full text. We will provide free archive-version of the paper shortly.
