The Fly Base

FlyBase is a comprehensive online database dedicated to the genetics and biology of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. It provides detailed information about genes, mutations, and scientific research related to this widely studied organism. Researchers use FlyBase to access data that helps them understand gene functions, biological processes, and how genes relate to health and disease. Since fruit flies share many genetic similarities with humans, FlyBase is a valuable resource for advancing genetic and biomedical research. It offers tools, literature, and data visualizations to support scientists worldwide in their studies.
