Top Databases

FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila. FlyBase includes data on all species from the family Drosophilidae.

PubMed is a service of the United States National Library of Medicine that includes over 16 million citations from MEDLINE and other life science journals for biomedical articles back to the 1950s. PubMed includes links to full text articles and other related resources.

The Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) is a consortium of the Drosophila Genome Center, funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, National Cancer Institute, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, through its support of work in the Gerald Rubin, Allan Spradling, Roger Hoskins, Hugo Bellen, Susan Celniker, and Gary Karpen laboratories. 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.

FlyMine is an integrated database of genomic, expression and protein data for Drosophila, Anopheles and C. elegans. Integrating data makes it possible to run sophisticated data mining queries that span domains of biological knowledge.

The CluSTr database offers an automatic classification of UniProt Knowledgebase and IPI proteins into groups of related proteins. The clustering is based on analysis of all pairwise comparisons between protein sequences. The database provides links to InterPro, which integrates information on protein families, domains and functional sites from PROSITE, PRINTS, Pfam, ProDom, SMART, TIGRFAMs, Gene3D, SUPERFAMILY, PIR Superfamily and PANTHER.

euGenes provides a common summary of gene and genomic information from eukaryotic organism databases. Which includes gene symbol,full name, chromosome, genetic and molecular map information, gene product information (function, structure, and homologies) and links to extended gene information.

UCSC Genome Browser Gateway contains the reference sequence and working draft assemblies of Drosophila melanogaster Genome.

Homophila utilizes the sequence information of human disease genes from the NCBI OMIM database in order to determine if sequence homologs of these genes exist in the current Drosophila sequence database. The database is updated weekly and can be searched by human disease, gene name, OMIM number, title, subtitle and/or allelic variant descriptions.

The McGill Drosophila melanogaster Genome Project has been in operation since September 1995 and was originally launched to generate genetic and molecular data from the 37-38 polytene region.

Drosophila Heterochromatin Genome Project (DHGP), as part of the Drosophila Genome Center (DGC) located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Labaratory in Berkeley, CA. The DHGP is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute.DHGP provides sequence for a large portion of Drosophila melanogaster heterochromatin.
