The FlyBase Database

FlyBase is a comprehensive online database that provides valuable information about the fruit fly, *Drosophila melanogaster*, a key organism in genetic research. It collects and organizes data on genes, proteins, mutations, and more, supporting scientists in studying genetics, development, and behavior. Researchers can access a wealth of information, including research literature, gene sequences, and tools for data analysis. FlyBase plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of genetics and biology, as findings in fruit flies often have implications for other species, including humans.
