This site (flyatlas2013.org) allows users to explore the way that different genes are expressed in the tissues of Drosophila melanogaster. It is based on hybridizing tissue mRNA to microarrays representing the Drosophila genome — work performed in the Dow/Davies laboratory in the University of Glasgow. It presents a different interface from that on the original FlyAtlas site, which is still available.
SEARCH TYPES
Gene: For a particular gene, find details of its expression in different tissues.
Category: For a group of genes with related functions, find details of their expression in different tissues.
Profile: For a particular gene, find others with a similar pattern of expression in different tissues.
Tissue: For a given tissue, find the genes of a particular category with the greatest expression.
Top: For a given tissue, find the genes that are most highly expressed there (e.g. ‘top 20’).
Development: For a given tissue, find genes that change in expression between larva and adult.

AUTHORSHIP
The experimental work underlying this web application was described in 2007 in a paper in Nature Genetics by Venkat Chintapalli, Jing Wang and Julian Dow.
The web application itself was built by Scott W. Robinson and David P. Leader, and is described in a paper in the Database issue of Nucleic Acids Research for 2013.
FLY ATLAS 2
FlyAtlas 2 is our later site presenting RNA-Seq, rather than microarray, data, with separate determinations for male and female flies.
SERVER MIGRATION 2021
We have recently moved this site to a new server. Please bookmark this page as its permanent address, flyatlas2013.org, rather than any previous or current URL that your web browser may display.
