Useful tools for functional and pathway analysis and target identification

If you have a list of genes, and you want to know their functions, the diseases and pathways they might be associated with, and some known or candidate drug targets for them, you can use the following tools and databases. Your gene list might have been obtained from differential expression or other omics analyses, gene network analysis, a genome-wide association study (GWAS), and alike.
