General Resources

FlyBase

Core database for Drosophila genetic information, including genes, tools, stocks, phenotypes, and literature references.

FlyBase is in the process of transitioning into the Alliance of Genome Resources (AGR).

NeuronBridge

NeuronBridge is a tool search for neurons in Janelia FlyLight (LM) and FlyEM (EM) datasets.

EM Data Resources

Codex

Connectome explorer developed at Princeton University. Hosts the BANC, MANC, optic-lobe, FAFB and male-cns datasets. Provides advanced search functions, a range of visualisations, and bulk data downloads.

NeuPrint

Connectome explorer provided by Janelia Research Campus. Hosts the hemibrain, MANC, optic-lobe and male-cns datasets. Advanced search features are availble, including direct cypher queries of the neo4j database. Data is also accessible progammatically via neuprint-python or neuprintr.

CATMAID

The Collaborative Annotation Toolkit for Massive Amounts of Image Data (CATMAID) is a web companion to the TrakEM2 software (Cardona, 2006) for management, registration and analysis of large-scale ssTEM datasets.

Light Microscopy Resources

FlyLight

The FlyLight Project at Janelia Research Campus produces large anatomical data sets and highly characterized collections of GAL4, LexA and Split-GAL4 drivers in order to enable the visualization and precise manipulation of individual cell types in the Drosophila nervous system.

FlyLight Protocols

Protocols used in the FlyLight project for dissection, staining and imaging of Drosophila central nervous systems. Also includes videos.

larvalbrain

Site for finding larval CNS driver lines via multiple query modes, including anatomy and intensity.

Single Cell Sequencing Resources

EBI Single Cell Expression Atlas

The Single Cell Expression Atlas at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) provides access to single cell RNA-seq data from multiple species, including Drosophila.
