FlyAtlas gives you a quick answer to the question: where is my gene of interest expressed/enriched in the adult fly? For each gene and tissue, you''re given the mRNA SIGNAL (how abundant the mRNA is), the mRNA ENRICHMENT (compared to whole flies), and the Affymetrix PRESENT CALL (out of 4 arrays, how many times it was detectably expressed). The dataset so far comprises 44 Affymetrix Dros2 expression arrays, each mapping the expression of 18770 transcripts - corresponding to the vast majority of known Drosophila genes. The dataset thus contains over 822800 separate datapoints. This website is intended to make the data easily accessible and comprehensible to mere mortals. FlyAtlas provides the most comprehensive view yet of expression in multiple tissues of Drosophila melanogaster. Meta-analysis of the data shows that a significant fraction of the genome is expressed with great tissue specificity in the adult, demonstrating the need for the functional genomic community to embrace a wide range of functional phenotypes. Well-known developmental genes are often reused in surprising tissues in the adult, suggesting new functions. The homologs of many human genetic disease loci show selective expression in the Drosophila tissues analogous to the affected human tissues, providing a useful filter for potential candidate genes. Additionally, the contributions of each tissue to the whole-fly array signal can be calculated, demonstrating the limitations of whole-organism approaches to functional genomics and allowing modeling of a simple tissue fractionation procedure that should improve detection of weak or tissue-specific signals.

A cross-database search service for Drosophila gene expression data, including microarray data from FlyAtlas and in situ images from BDGP and Fly-TED. The applications provide different ways to search for and compare gene expression data for the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. You may Search Gene Expression Data by Gene, Gene Batch, and by Tissue Expression Profile. A number of Web services (SPARQL endpoints) are provided from this site which may be queried programmatically for data.

Can't find your Tool?
We recommend that you click next to the search bar to check some helpful tips on searches and refine your search firstly. Alternatively, please register your tool with the SciCrunch Registry by adding a little information to a web form, logging in will enable users to create a provisional RRID, but it not required to submit.
Welcome to the NIF Resources search. From here you can search through a compilation of resources used by NIF and see how data is organized within our community.
You are currently on the Community Resources tab looking through categories and sources that NIF has compiled. You can navigate through those categories from here or change to a different tab to execute your search through. Each tab gives a different perspective on data.
If you have an account on NIF then you can log in from here to get additional features in NIF such as Collections, Saved Searches, and managing Resources.
