Dear Staff,
DAVID is a powerful database for gene annotations/enrichment. I have a minor query. Why DAVID uses GAD_Disease database for annotation of complex disorders. The GAD database was discontinued in 2014. I suggest DAVID should use a disease database which is updated regularly such as ClinVar. This will enhance impact of disease annotations performed by DAVID.
Thank you.

Great suggestion. We are working on an update to DAVID currently which includes identifying and integrating newer data sources for gene-disease associations. We greatly appreciate all suggestions for this and other areas of gene functional annotation.
Regards, Brad

I also have a question regarding the GAD_Disease category. Is data from this category still publishable in 2020? Because if I am not wrong, GAD database was closed in 2014, and it has been 6 years since then. I am getting something very interesting in this category but skeptical about authenticity of the data in 2020.
