FlyBase Update - body part thesaurus, revised manual

[FlyBase Project Members]

FlyBase update.

1. A fully revised version of the FlyBase Reference Manual has been released.
   It is available on the FlyBase server (ftp.bio.indiana.edu) as
   Postscript or text files (flybase/docs/Reference-manual.ps and
   flybase/docs/Reference-manual.text, respectively).

2. A new database has been released today - this is a thesaurus
   of Drosophila body parts - organs, cells, tissues etc. It attempts
   to be as complete a catalog of Drosophila structures as possible.

   This is very much a draft and corrections and additions are
   wanted from the community.

   The file is available as:

   flybase/docs/bodyparts, in both text (/bodyparts.text) and PostScript
   (/bodyparts.ps) formats.
