Other Species

Detailed information on the above options

FlyBase (Drosophila)
This Drosophila database contains genetic and other information collected from all current and past scientific studies on these species of fruit fly.

WWW Virtual Library: Drosophila
This is part of the Biosciences area of the WWW Virtual Library. This section of the library covers uses of the model organism Drosophila melanogaster for research in genetics and developmental biology. It is an extensive list of Drosophila resources.

FlyView - A Drosophila Image Database
This holds data on Drosophila development and genetics, especially on expression patterns of genes (enhancer trap lines, cloned genes). Their aim is to establish the possibilty to compare images on the computer screen or to search for special patterns at different developmental stages. Therefore, all images are accompanied by text descriptions that can be used to search with keywords.

Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project
Aim to

• Produce a physical map of the 120 Mb euchromatic portion of the D. melanogaster genome as a substrate for DNA sequencing and as a tool to accelerate the experiments of the Drosophila research community.
• Determine the complete DNA sequence of the euchromatic genome
• Carry out a large scale gene-disruption experiment
• Develop experimental and computational tools to probe the biological significance of the genomic sequence.
• Develop effective means to transfer information, clones and technology to the community.

• Blast server
• Genie
• Gene finder based on HMMs
• Promoter prediction
• Splice site prediction
• Encyclopedia of Drosophila Genome Browser
• Annotated Sequence Viewer

European Drosophila Genome Project (EDGP)
The European Drosophila Genome Project has the objective of sequencing the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. It has been funded since January 1997 with the immediate aim of sequencing divisions 1 to 3 of the X chromosome (about 3-3.5 Mbases) in the next three years. Sequencing is based on the cosmid physical map, constructed by the European Drosophila Physical Mapping Project.

GIFTS Server
A collection of databases and information on gene interactions in Drosophila.

• FlyNets a database of molecular interactions (Protein-DNA, Protein-RNA, Protein-Protein interactions)
• SOS-DGDB database (Sites On Sequences-Drosophila Genes DataBase): a collection of Drosophila DNA sequences where protein binding sites have been directly annotated on the sequence
• GIF-DB a database of Drosophila gene interactions involved in embryonic pattern formation
• KNIFE the prototype of an object knowledge base devoted to the study of Drosophila developmental regulatory networks

The Interactive Fly
A guide to Drosophila genes and their roles in development

• Index of Genes
• Genes listed by biochemical function
• Genes listed by developmental function and biochemical pathways
• Developmental Processes
• Meet The Interactive Fly: an introduction

National Insect Genetic Resources
The National Insect Resources Directory is designed to preserve, maintain, and to distribute the genes, unique genetic combinations, and genetic diversity of beneficial and destructive insect species. Stock centers will preserve the various groups of pests, parasites, and pollinators that are economically important.

Mosquito Genomics WWW Server
This provides access to mosquito genomics and links to other genomics WWW servers, to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, and to other WWW servers around the world.

Sericultural Science, the University of Tokyo
This provides information on the insect group at the University of Tokyo and genetic maps of Bombyx mori.
