About the project

In a collaborative effort with the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) and Celera Genomics, we have mapped and sequenced the euchromatic portion of the Drosophila melanogaster genome. Release of the drosophila sequence was in 2002 (link). The Drosophila Genome Project was funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, National Cancer Institute, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Access to the Data

BLAST searches are available.

• Flybase BLAST - Searches all Drosophila reads and provides links to the individual matched sequences through the NCBI.

Fingerprint assemblies are available as gif files and as raw data on the FTP site (use the FTP Data link in the sidebar) for use with FPC. STS content maps are available for 3L and X.

Clones are available from BACPAC resources.
