FlyBase

Curating and cataloging the world's data for fruit fly and related species into our database at Aiding discovery since 1992.

As you may know, NIH abruptly terminated funding to FlyBase curators based in the United Kingdom. Please help us retain these curators and thereby enable ongoing curation of bibliographic, genetic & phenotypic data by contributing annually (https://t.co/WNTvcoyvym). Thank you.

Susan Russo Gelbart accepted on behalf of FlyBase, and gave a rousing acceptance speech.

#DROS26 #FlyForward

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

The 2026 Drosophila Community Service Award was presented earlier this month at #DROS26.
This year's recipients were the REDFly Database Team and the FlyBase Developer Team, for their roles in the development of online repositories for the dissemination of Drosophila data.

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

We appreciate that the award to the FlyBase Developer Team also recognized our support staff, including system administrators, administrative support, and program director.

1/9 🧵 Excited to share our latest paper: GOFlowLLM - Curating miRNA literature with Large Language Models and flowcharts.

Read the full paper here: https://t.co/DnMLbDlUNX or highlights below!

You can find a link to the Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource at the bottom of the GAL4 etc QuickSearch tab.

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

Updated in FB2025_05: We've added 9 new binary drivers to the Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource https://t.co/gDPPvnVYaM, which documents all binary drivers curated to at least 15 (lexA) or 20 (GAL4) papers.

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

Links from FlyBase gene reports to FlyCyc pathway pages have been updated to reflect the latest associations.

You can find those links in the Linkouts subsection of the External Crossrefereences and Linkouts section of Gene Reports.

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

We have recently updated FlyCyc https://t.co/GyS72WKLeq, the pathway-genome database representing Drosophila metabolism, to include enzymatic complexes as well as further improvements to enzyme annotations. #FlyCyc is now classed as a ‘Tier 1 Highly Curated Organism Database’.

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

FlyCyc represents all the metabolic reactions and pathways of Drosophila melanogaster, computed by combining comprehensive pathway data at BioCyc (MetaCyc) with the set of manually curated/reviewed Gene Ontology annotations at FlyBase.

New in FB2025_05: Archive data is back!
FlyBase is participating in the Amazon Web Services Open Data Sponsorship Program. AWS sponsors the storage & data transfer costs for the FlyBase bulk data repository, allowing us to preserve & provide access to nearly 2 decades of archives

[FlyBase @FlyBaseDotOrg]

across release versions.

We are grateful to AWS for their generous sponsorship of this data repository, which enables broader access to both current and archival FlyBase data for the Drosophila research community.
