Abstract

BACKGROUND: DAVID is the most popular tool for interpreting large lists of gene/proteins classically produced in high-throughput experiments. However, the use of DAVID website becomes difficult when analyzing multiple gene lists, for it does not provide an adequate visualization tool to show/compare multiple enrichment results in a concise and informative manner.

RESULT: We implemented a new R-based graphical tool, BACA (Bubble chArt to Compare Annotations), which uses the DAVID web service for cross-comparing enrichment analysis results derived from multiple large gene lists. BACA is implemented in R and is freely available at the CRAN repository ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BACA/ ).

CONCLUSION: The package BACA allows R users to combine multiple annotation charts into one output graph by passing DAVID website.
