Susan Russo Gelbart accepted on behalf of FlyBase, and gave a rousing acceptance speech. X seems to not support our uploading video at the moment, so here's a link to our Mastodon post: mstdn.science/@FlyBase/11624… #DROS26 #FlyForward
We appreciate that the award to the FlyBase Developer Team also recognized our support staff, including system administrators, administrative support, and program director.
The 2026 Drosophila Community Service Award was presented earlier this month at #DROS26. This year's recipients were the REDFly Database Team and the FlyBase Developer Team, for their roles in the development of online repositories for the dissemination of Drosophila data.
FlyBase release FB2026_01 is live! There is news about #FlyBase funding. Go to the FlyBase homepage flybase.org for details.
The only FlyBase event of #Dros26 is TONIGHT! Hear Brian Calvi at 7:30 in Sheraton/Chicago 4-7 speak about ‘FlyBase: Past, Present, and Future’.
#DROS26 starts tomorrow! Sadly, most of FlyBase will not be there this year. Brian Calvi, our Indiana University PI, will be speaking on "FlyBase: Past, Present, and Future" during the Techniques and Technology workshop (Sat. 3/7 7:70-7:45, Room Sheraton/Chicago 4-7) @GeneticsGSA
Reminder: Brian Calvi's FlyBase talk is TOMORROW, March 7, at 7:30-7:45 pm in Room Sheraton/Chicago 4-7 #DROS26

1/9 🧵 Excited to share our latest paper: GOFlowLLM - Curating miRNA literature with Large Language Models and flowcharts. Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1093/bioinf… or highlights below!
You can find a link to the Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource at the bottom of the GAL4 etc QuickSearch tab.
Updated in FB2025_05: We've added 9 new binary drivers to the Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource flybase.org/GAL4/freq_used…, which documents all binary drivers curated to at least 15 (lexA) or 20 (GAL4) papers.
Links from FlyBase gene reports to FlyCyc pathway pages have been updated to reflect the latest associations. You can find those links in the Linkouts subsection of the External Crossrefereences and Linkouts section of Gene Reports.
FlyCyc represents all the metabolic reactions and pathways of Drosophila melanogaster, computed by combining comprehensive pathway data at BioCyc (MetaCyc) with the set of manually curated/reviewed Gene Ontology annotations at FlyBase.
We have recently updated FlyCyc biocyc.org/DMEL/organism-…, the pathway-genome database representing Drosophila metabolism, to include enzymatic complexes as well as further improvements to enzyme annotations. #FlyCyc is now classed as a ‘Tier 1 Highly Curated Organism Database’.
For more information, see the Downloads Overview (wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase:D…) or the Registry of Open Data on AWS (registry.opendata.aws), and the FlyBase Commentary flybase.org/commentaries/2…
across release versions. We are grateful to AWS for their generous sponsorship of this data repository, which enables broader access to both current and archival FlyBase data for the Drosophila research community.
New in FB2025_05: Archive data is back! FlyBase is participating in the Amazon Web Services Open Data Sponsorship Program. AWS sponsors the storage & data transfer costs for the FlyBase bulk data repository, allowing us to preserve & provide access to nearly 2 decades of archives
🚨Last chance to nominate an outstanding PhD researcher using Drosophila for the Larry Sandler Award! They'll present at #Dros26. Submit your nomination by tonight's deadline: buff.ly/OmPPHUT
