Dear DAVID enthusiasts I note here (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/content.jsp?file=WS.html that programming) that interfaces to DAVID via Java, Perl, Python and Matlab are now supported, which is good. I also note that the R package, DAVIDQuery uses a kind of html-scrubbing technique (http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.11/bioc/html/DAVIDQuery.html ), which appears to be due to the fact that DAVIDQuery was written before the above was available. I am an R user who would be interested in enhanced links to DAVID from R. (I am an R user, but not a programmer.) Would a more direct link to DAVID from R now be possible?

Thanks, Mark, for your interest. It would be a good change to make. It will be low in priority for me, at least as long as DAVIDQuery is working adequately. "If it ain't broke don't fix it." -- since there are plenty of broken things to fix around here! However, if you are interested in participating, I'd be happy to work with you. ----- Roger Day University of Pittsburgh Departments of Biomedical Informatics and Biostatistics University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute ----------------------------------------------------- Room 532, 5607 Baum Blvd Pittsburgh, PA 15206-3701 e-mail: day01@pitt.edu<mailto:day01@pitt.edu> cell phone: 412-609-3918 assistant: Genine Bartolotta, (412) 624-5100 fax: 412-624-5310 ----------------------------------------------------- On Mar 21, 2013, at 6:02 PM, Grimes Mark wrote: Dear DAVID enthusiasts I note here (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/content.jsp?file=WS.html that programming) that interfaces to DAVID via Java, Perl, Python and Matlab are now supported, which is good.
