The 'Basic Atlas' provides the user with a hypertext tour guide to the basic structural elements of the Drosophila nervous system. It links schematic representations, serial sections through the entire brain, and Golgi impregnations of individual cells. When appropriate, these are also linked to enhancer-trap images and to other gene expression data. The Basic Atlas provides a usable overview of how the different parts of the nervous system are constructed and connected. It is intended that the Atlas links will provide a tour through the brain and its main structures. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The BioSystematic Database of World Diptera (BDWD) provides a comprehensive portal to knowledge about these dipterans as well as a framework to organize and integrate current and future data, information and knowledge. The linnaean system of names provides unique information keys within a hierarchical framework which can map our knowledge of life from a historical (phylogenetic) perspective. Unfortunately after some 250 years of research, there are now too many names, including identical names for different organisms and many different names for the same organism. More than 150,000 species of Diptera have been described under more than 200,000 names. The BDWD provides a nomenclator to find the single correct name for each dipteran. ...

The Interactive Fly - a cyberspace guide to Drosophila development and metazoan evolution - was first released July/August 1996, with updates provided at approximately one month intervals, through September 1997 (edition 13). Updating quarterly started with edition 14. With edition 40, the Interactive Fly began to schedule updates three times a year: fall, winter and spring. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
FlyView is an image database on Drosophila development and genetics, especially on expression patterns of genes (enhancer trap lines, cloned genes). Our aim is to establish the possibility to compare images on the computer screen and to search for special patterns at different developmental stages. FlyView presents three possibilities for searching: Search for pattern elements (with keywords in text descriptions, getting back images with links to the appropriate stocks), search for stocks (with stock number, allele, genotype, chromosome, insertion site, viability, developmental stage or expression pattern, getting back a list of found stocks that guide to full descriptions (including links to images, e-mail address for ordering and, in the case of BDGP lines, also direct links to FlyBase and/or EofD)) and Overview (an actual list of all lines included in FlyView, linked to stock descriptions and images). The success of this database exclusively depends on the activity of the Drosophila community. All Drosophila workers are asked to contribute to this database by submitting images and accompanying text. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This database presents the current results of large scale protein trapping screens that provide both information on which cells express each tagged gene, and subcellular localization of GFP-tagged proteins. It contains sequence coordinates of inserted transposons, information on the tagged genes, and images with expression patterns of GFP in Drosophila tissues. FlyTrap serves as the data repository for lines generated in the Chia, Cooley, and Spradling labs. The protein trap stocks listed in FlyTrap are available for distribution. ...

The goals of the Drosophila Genome Center are to finish the sequence of the euchromatic genome of Drosophila melanogaster to high quality and to generate and maintain biological annotations of this sequence. In addition to genomic sequencing, the BDGP is 1) producing gene disruptions using P element-mediated mutagenesis on a scale unprecedented in metazoans; 2) characterizing the sequence and expression of cDNAs; and 3) developing informatics tools that support the experimental process, identify features of DNA sequence, and allow us to present up-to-date information about the annotated sequence to the research community. ...

The Drosophila Genomics Resource Center (DGRC) provides the research community with access to genomics resources including microarrays. [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Vienna Drosophila RNAi Center (VDRC) is a joint initiative of the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) and the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP). The VDRC exploits and further develops the Drosophila transgenic RNAi library generated by the Dickson group, formerly at IMBA and now at the IMP. Its mission is to promote scientific discoveries based on the use of this technology. The in vivo RNAi approach allows researchers to systematically knock down individual Drosophila genes, using the GAL4/UAS system to target the RNAi to specific cells in the animal. With over 85% of the Drosophila genome covered, this promises to be a powerful method to assign functions to known and newly-annotated genes from the genome sequencing effort. ...
