Nov 15, 2012. Have you published a paper recently? You can help to get your data into FlyBase using our Fast-Track Your Paper tool. FlyBase is now e-mailing the corresponding authors of newly published papers each week requesting that they "flag" the types of data and reagents described in the paper to prioritise papers for further data extraction by FlyBase curators. They can also list the genes studied, and the paper is added to the reference section of the gene reports at the next website update. Just click on the link in the email to start the process....

Feb 8, 2013. FlyBase and the Kaufman lab have performed an imaging project in order to provide images of mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.

In most cases, animals were imaged that contained single mutations, or were the only mutation visible in the body part imaged. In some cases, double mutants were imaged when it was easy to determine; for example, some eye shape mutations were imaged that also contained eye color mutations.... (More)
