Drosophila Genomic Resources

Drosophila Genomic Resources

FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila. It is available through FlyBase servers, as partial mirrors on other servers, as flat files, and as printed text (in special issues of Drosophila Information Service). The full database includes data files, documents, indices, forms, and images and is maintained on a multi-protocol server that supports a variety of tools and formats.

FlyBase includes the following:

Information on more than 51,500 alleles of more than 10,000 genes
Information about the expression and properties of over 2,300 transcripts and 1,400 proteins
Information on the functions of gene products
A listing of over 12,200 nucleic acid and over 3,900 protein sequence accession numbers
Information about more than 1000 engineered transposons and more than 1000 other molecular constructs
Lists of over 7,000 genomic clones
Descriptions of over 14,600 chromosomal aberrations
Lists of stock center and private lab Drosophila stocks
A bibliography of more than 89,000 Drosophila citations
An address book of 5,700 Drosophila researchers
Drosophila genetic, cytological, and molecular map information
Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project data
European Drosophila Genome Project data
Allied databases
The bionet.drosophila archives

Getting Started with FlyBase

Carthew Drosophila Lab - The Carthew Lab researchers are specifically interested in development of the R7 photoreceptor and the related gene sina. The site contains mainly links to other sources, but their lab manual contains lots of useful information such as a fly food recipie and protocols embryo tranformationa and for generating somatic clones.
