FlyBase

FlyBase Homepage
FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for D. melanogaster and other Drosophila species, targeted to an audience of research professionals.

Since its inception in 1992, FlyBase has provided an online repository of biological data about Drosophila species, focusing on the model organism D. melanogaster. Data in FlyBase are either curated manually from the primary research literature or are incorporated computationally from various sources, with the two input streams being integrated into a series of ‘report’ pages and other portals on the website. Many links to related data and resources at external databases are also incorporated. As a result, FlyBase serves as a nexus for all Drosophila-related information.

FlyBase Tools Overview - FlyBase Wiki
This text provides an overview of the data content, organization and available tools within FlyBase. It is intended to serve as a basic introduction and guide for our diverse user base.

Drosophila Brain and Connectome Resources

FlyWire - Drosophila Connectome
The FlyWire connectome was generated using a combination of automated image analysis and human proofreading. The platform allows users to view and edit the connectome, and to provide annotations about the neurons and synapses. Annotations in FlyWire map into the ontology of the Virtual Fly Brain project.
Virtual Fly Brain
An interactive tool for neurobiologists to explore the detailed neuroanatomy, neuron connectivity and gene expression of Drosophila melanogaster.

BDGP: Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project
NOTE - this site last updated 2019. The goals of the Drosophila Genome Center are to finish the sequence of the euchromatic genome of Drosophila melanogaster to high quality and to generate and maintain biological annotations of this sequence.
DGRC: Drosophila Genomics Research Center
The Drosophila Genomics Resource Center (DGRC) serves the Drosophila research community by: (a) collecting and distributing DNA clones and vectors; (b) collecting and distributing Drosophila cell lines; (c) developing and testing genomics technologies for use in Drosophila and assisting members of the research community in their use.
DRSC/TRiP FGR - Functional Genomics Resources
The goal of the DRSC at DRSC-FGR is to facilitate Drosophila cell-based RNAi screens and related functional genomics projects in the broadest possible research community. The goal of the TRiP at DRSC-FGR is production of fly stocks for functional genomics. TRiP reagents and fly stocks are made here, injected here or at collaborating centers, then transferred to the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (BDSC) for distribution to the community.

DRSC Functional Genomics Resources (DRSC-FGR) began as the Drosophila RNAi Screening Center (DRSC), and the Transgenic RNAi Project (TRiP), founded by Prof. Perrimon in 2008.
FlyExpress
FlyExpress is a freely accessible online knowledgebase offering users an opportunity to explore and analyze expression patterns of developmental genes in Drosophila embryogenesis. FlyExpress contains a unique digital library of over 100,000 standardized images capturing the expression of thousands of genes at different developmental stages.
The Interactive Fly
Freely available online guide containing articles, data, and links to resources related to Drosophila development and metazoan evolution.
