Thanks to all who have expressed a willingness to support FlyBase. The wheels of bureaucracy are large and grind slowly. We expect to have a fee process in place by July. @flybase.bsky.social

Can’t transfer and even if Harvard eventually wins court case PI’s told they would have to reapply. No one really knows including NIH. Theme is Confusion and Chaos.

FlyBase funding squashed amid Harvard grant terminations The team behind the Drosophila genetics database is now requesting donations from labs to keep the resource afloat.

For those interested in the status of FlyBase. @flybase.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/community/fl...

Thanks. The current fundraising link is for EU labs to support FlyBase UK group. Still setting up to collect fees from U.S. and other labs, complicated. Stay tuned. Divided efforts across pond because of recent international firewalls.
