Please pay your YEARLY website access fee! (annual renewal is automatic)
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY HELPED

The NHGRI is reducing the funding of FlyBase by 20-25% (normalized to 30-35%). These cuts will make it difficult to deliver high quality, essential curation and tools. We are calling on you to help with a FlyBase website access fee PER person / PER year.

Questions? See this FAQ or email us. Optional general tax-deductible contributions here.

Experiments with Drosophila for Biology Courses

Experiments with Drosophila for Biology Courses, a fully open access e-book, edited by two experienced fly researchers and with contributions by many fly researchers in India, meets the need for development of new methods and paradigms for laboratory experiments at under- and post-graduate levels so that the young students and future academics can experience ‘life’. — Apr 13, 2021.

U.S. import documents have changed!

Regulations on importing transgenic organisms changed last year and new practices are now in effect. Documents for importing most Drosophila melanogaster stocks are now much easier to obtain and use. Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center has webpages with detailed guidance — Apr 5, 2021.

Search FlyBase Tweetorials

Over the last few years, @FlyBaseDotOrg has been posting tweetorials, each a short series of linked tweets giving an illustrated tour of new or improved FlyBase tools, features, and datasets. In interest of making it easier to find a particular tweetorial, the FlyBase tweeter has recently hashtagged all @FlyBaseDotOrg tweetorials going back to Jan 1 2018. — Feb 14, 2021.

Fly Journal

Fly is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus on Drosophila research. The journal covers a diverse range of topics in genetics, developmental biology, neuroscience, ecology and many other disciplines relevant to Drosophila and Diptera in general. Did you know that you can now publish open access in Fly? — Jan 26, 2021.
