## FEA - DAVID

### Description

Performs the functional enrichment analysis and clustering through DAVID [1] (requires internet connection).

### Usage

    fea_david(geneList, geneIdType = "ENSEMBL_GENE_ID", geneLabels=NULL,
      annotations = c("GOTERM_BP_ALL", "GOTERM_MF_ALL", "GOTERM_CC_ALL",
     "INTERPRO"),
      email = NULL,
      argsWS = c(overlap = 4L, initialSeed = 4L, finalSeed = 4L, linkage = 0.5,
      kappa = 35L), jobName = NULL, downloadFile=TRUE)

### Arguments

`geneList` | character vector. List of genes to analyze.
`geneIdType` | character vector. Type of gene identifier. Web API: ENSEMBL_GENE_ID, ENTREZ_GENE_ID, GENE_SYMBOL, UNIPROT_ID... For more, check DAVID's API documentation. Web Service: run `getIdTypes(DAVIDWebService$new(email=...))`
`geneLabels` | named character vector. Gene name or label to use in the report/plots instead of the original gene ID. The vector names should be the gene ID and the content of the vector the gene label. The resulting geneTermSets table will contain the original gene ID column (geneIDs) and the label column (Genes).
`annotations` | character vector. Annotation spaces for the functional analysis. Web API: check DAVID's API documentation. Web Service: run `getAllAnnotationCategoryNames(DAVIDWebService$new(email=...))`.
`email` | character. If provided, the query will be performed though DAVID's Web Service (recommended). Requires registration (see details).
`argsWS` | named integer vector. Additional arguments for the clustering. Only available using the web service.
`jobName` | character. Folder name and prefix for the files.
`downloadFile` | logical. If TRUE, the result files are saved in the current directory (required to generate report).

### Details

To perform the queries, please register at http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/webservice/register.htm.

NOTE: Since August 2015, DAVID requires https. This causes errors in some systems. A (hopefully) temporary solution requries to install some certificates locally. See RDAVIDWebService help: https://support.bioconductor.org/p/70090/#72226

As an alternative, the web API allows to perform a small query without registering.
Note this option is not available in some systems, and the maximum number of genes is limited to 400. (It can be less depending on the ID types and the length of the resulting URL).
More details and full list of gene ID types and annotations are available at: http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/content.jsp?file=DAVID_API.html.

If the functional annotation and clustering has been performed directly at DAVID's Website (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/summary.jsp) fea_david() is not required. Instead, provide the file (or the URL of the file) containing the results of the analysis to `format_david()`.

### Value

Invisible list with the folowing fields:
`queryArgs` list with the arguments for the query.

`clusters` data.frame containing the clusters and their information:

- Cluster: Cluster ID.

- nGenes: Number of genes in the cluster.

- ClusterEnrichmentScore: Score for the cluster.

- Genes: Genes in the cluster.

- Terms: Terms in the cluster.

- keyWordsTerm: Term is the most representative of the terms in the cluster based on keywords.

`geneTermSets` data.frame containing the gene-term sets that support each cluster.

- Cluster: Number (id) of the cluster the gene-term set belongs to.

- ClusterEnrichmentScore: Score for the cluster. Same value for all terms in each cluster.

- Category: Type of annotation of the term (i.e. GO, ...)

- Terms: Term in the gene-term set.

- Genes: Genes in the gene-term set.

- GenesIDs: In case GeneLabels was provided, original gene ID.

- Other stats: Count, PValue, List.Total, Pop.Hits, Pop.Total, Fold.Enrichment, Bonferroni, Benjamini, FDR.

`fileName` .txt file with the formatted FEA results.

### Warning

The web service and the API have different default arguments. To obtain the same results with both methods use:

`API_defaults <- c(overlap=3L, initialSeed=3L, finalSeed=3L, linkage=0.5, kappa=50L)`

`fea_david(genesYeast, email="example@email.com", argsWS=API_defaults)`
