The only FlyBase event of #Dros26 is TONIGHT! Hear Brian Calvi at 7:30 in Sheraton/Chicago 4-7 speak about ‘FlyBase: Past, Present, and Future’.
Reminder: Brian Calvi's FlyBase talk is TOMORROW, March 7, at 7:30-7:45 pm in Room Sheraton/Chicago 4-7 #DROS26
#DROS26 starts tomorrow! Sadly, most of FlyBase will not be there this year. Brian Calvi, our Indiana University PI, will be speaking on "FlyBase: Past, Present, and Future" during the Techniques and Technology workshop (Sat. 3/7 7:70-7:45, Room Sheraton/Chicago 4-7).

We're excited to announce we're starting a podcast "Curate This!" where we interview (bio)curators and have them show us how they work (live!)
In the first episode, we talked with @modcur.bsky.social about curating mouse alleles in @mousegenome.bsky.social

This sunny and slightly less cold February morning brings six more weeks of winter and January's #TechnicalAdvances wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...
Don't forget-if you'd like your paper with a cool new technique, reagent, or resource featured in an upcoming month, flag it when you #FTYP.
Dear Mark, Elections for the National Drosophila Board of Directors for 2026 are now open. The Fly Board plays an important role in the Drosophila research community, so please read this message carefully and cast your vote. Vote Now Select the individuals who will represent the Drosophila community to further its interests in research, education, and public outreach. Voting will close on February 20, 2026. The Fly Board's duties include: Selecting the organizers and site for the North American Annual Drosophila Research Conference in collaboration with GSA Staff Overseeing Drosophila Trainee Awards, the Drosophila Service Award, the Drosophila Image Award, and the Larry Sandler Award Advocating on behalf of the Drosophila community to further research, education, and public outreach The Fly Board is led by elected representatives including the President, President-elect, Past-presidents, the Treasurer, and several regional representatives from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia/Oceania, one primarily undergraduate institution representative, and two early career representatives. Regional representatives serve three-year terms that will start immediately after the 67th Annual Drosophila Research Conference taking place March 4–8, 2026, in Chicago. The Board also has ex-officio members, including past-Presidents, meeting organizers, and community resource center representatives. Thank you, The 2026 Drosophila Board Election Committee
Hey fly friends (the Drosophila Community)
It's time to vote for members of the Fly Board. They represent and advocate for us and select the folks who run our annual meeting. Look for the email!

The FlyBase QuickSearch tool, with the GAL4 etc tab and the link to the Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource circled in pink.
You can find a link to the Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource at the bottom of the GAL4 etc QuickSearch tab.
The Frequently Used GAL4 and Other System Binary Drivers resource filtered to show a newly added GAL4 driver.
Updated in FB2025_05: We've added 9 new binary drivers to the Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource flybase.org/GAL4/freq_us..., which documents all binary drivers curated to at least 15 (lexA) or 20 (GAL4) papers.
A FlyBase Gene Report opened to the Linkouts subsection of the External Crossreferences and Linkouts section. The section heading and the FlyCyc Genes linkout have been boxed in bright pink.
Links from FlyBase gene reports to FlyCyc pathway pages have been updated to reflect the latest associations.
You can find those links in the Linkouts subsection of the External Crossrefereences and Linkouts section of Gene Reports.
FlyCyc represents all the metabolic reactions and pathways of Drosophila melanogaster, computed by combining comprehensive pathway data at BioCyc (MetaCyc) with the set of manually curated/reviewed Gene Ontology annotations at FlyBase
Screenshot of the FlyCyc page at https://biocyc.org.
We have recently updated FlyCyc biocyc.org/DMEL/organis..., the pathway-genome database representing Drosophila metabolism, to include enzymatic complexes as well as further improvements to enzyme annotations. #FlyCyc is now classed as a ‘Tier 1 Highly Curated Organism Database’.

🚨Last chance to nominate an outstanding PhD researcher using Drosophila for the Larry Sandler Award! They'll present at #Dros26. Submit your nomination by tonight's deadline: buff.ly/KlxI3Bn
We are grateful to AWS for their generous sponsorship of this data repository, which enables broader access to both current and archival FlyBase data for the Drosophila research community.
The FlyBase S3 bucket s3ftp.flybase.org now hosts over 4 terabytes of data, including all FlyBase releases from FB2006_01, with access to bulk data files, genome sequences, precomputed reports, and historical datasets for reproducibility studies and comparative analyses across release versions.
