FlyBase HomepageFlyBase 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.
