- FlyBase
FlyBase is an online
bioinformatics database of the biology and genome of themodel organism "Drosophila melanogaster " and related Drosophiliddiptera ns. The FlyBase project is carried out by a consortium of "Drosophila" researchers and computer scientists atHarvard University andIndiana University in the United States, andUniversity of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.FlyBase is one of the organizations contributing to the
Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD).Contents
FlyBase contains a complete rundown of current discoveries in the "
Drosophila " genome. It also includes a searchable bibliography of research on "Drosophila" genetics in the last century. Information on current researchers, and a partial pedigree of relationships between current researchers, is searchable, based on registration of the participating scientist.
