FlyBase Homepage FlyBase: a database for drosophila genetics and molecular biology

We are grateful to the Wellcome Trust for their continued funding of VFB.

FlyBase Homepage FlyBase: a database for drosophila genetics and molecular biology

Because of recent NIH impediments to international collaboration, FlyBase has divided forces:
- European labs can contribute via (www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...), where you can also request to make a donation from a grant.
- the FlyBase U.S. fee system will be set up soon.

VFB works closely with the FlyBase team and we rely on their hard work to provide many of our features. Due to the current funding situation at FlyBase (flybase.org), we encourage our users to donate and help maintain this essential resource.

New Precomputed Neuron and Expression Pattern Similarity Scores on VFB VFB neuron-to-neuron and neuron-to-expression pattern similarity scores (NBLAST) have been expanded to include the male-CNS optic lobe and FAFB-FlyWire connectome datasets.

๐Ÿง  VFB just expanded NBLAST similarity scores to include male-CNS optic lobe & FAFB-FlyWire datasets! Now easier to find morphologically similar neurons across connectomes & identify potential split-GAL4 drivers. Big win for #neuroscience #flyresearch ๐Ÿ”ฌ
