The FlyBase

FlyBase is an online database that provides detailed genetic and biological information about the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Scientists use it to access data on fly genes, mutations, and biological processes, which helps them understand genetics and developmental biology. Since fruit flies share many genes with humans, FlyBase also supports research into human health and disease. It serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers worldwide, offering tools and data to advance genetic and biomedical studies efficiently.
