About the project
As part of the Drosophila modENCODE project, we are studying the comparative genomics of eight additional species of Drosophila: biarmipes, bipectinata, elegans, eugracillis, ficusphila, kikkawai, rhopaloa,and takahashii.

The aim is to better identify and annotate conserved sequences within the Drosophila genome.
Access to the Data
Data will be posted here and at NCBI and flybase when it is available.
Resources
Raw RNAseq data is available here. This includes sampling from adult males, adult females and mixed embryos for each of the eight species.
