Since all species of Drosophila are represented by FlyBase, the homology links from any given human gene may contain several links to FlyBase. Thanks to those at FlyBase who made it possible to provide these links to the community, especially Michael Ashburner, Don Gilbert, and Wayne Rindone. Searching for a specific gene and nearby genes and markers as well as related citations and reagents is relatively straightforward using this interface. Results are displayed in tabular format with links to the full GDB detail. This interface was developed by post-doctoral fellow, Amy Voltz, with assistance from GDB staff.

The D-segment number generator has been reactivated. The generator is available on the clone and amplimer detail forms that are retrieved after querying to update existing records. Over the past two weeks, the most current versions of the Genethon linkage maps were loaded into GDB and are available for public view. We are continuing to load maps and other data as quickly as possible. The search form displays the GDB class hierarchy and permits searching by individual class or across all classes after entering relevant keywords.
