is an Affymetrix microarray-based atlas of gene expression in adult.
We are pleased to announce that the dataset has been expanded with
data for larval fat body and tubule. This means that you can now
easily look up any gene of interest to you, and find out where it is
most abundant in the fly, and how specifically it is enriched, in any
of:
head, brain, midgut, Malpighian tubules, hindgut, ovary, testis, male
accessory glands, larval tubule, larval fat body or whole fly.
We plan to add further tissues shortly.
FlyAtlas at the Fly meeting
We will be presenting a late poster at the Fly meeting in
Philadelphia, and Gos Micklem has kindly offered us a short guest slot
in the FlyMine Bioinformatic presentations. We would be happy to talk
to you about FlyAtlas at either venue.
These data were prepared and placed in the public domain as a service
to the Drosophila community, by the UKs Biotechnology and Biological
Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) through their Investigating Gene
Function (IGF) initiative. Over the last 4 years, our facility has
provided 1000 free Affymetrix arrays to the UK fly community. Further

Enjoy!
