The Brain Prize
@BrainPrize14 Oct 2025
This morning Larry Abbott, 2024 Brain Prize winner, delivered a plenary lecture at #ECNP2025. It was a stunning example of how reconstruction of neural circuits at synapse resolution can provide fundamental insights into mechanisms of circuit computation. #NeuralCircuits

You can now search FlyBase and WormBase sequence data using the Alliance of Genome Resources BLAST server: alliancegenome.org/blastserv… The Fly interface allows searching against many arthopods, #FlyBaseTweetorial #BLAST
Screenshot of the Alliance of Genome Resources BLAST page. BLAST Service Welcome to the BLAST Service for the Alliance of Genome Resources! This BLAST service allows researchers to search genomic sequences using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). By entering a sequence or query, users can find regions of similarity to various genomes within the Alliance. This service supports separate environments for each of the Model Organism Databases (MODs) as well as a unified environment for the Alliance. Results provide detailed alignments and annotations to aid in your research. Explore the various BLAST environments through the links below to find the one that best suits your research needs: Fly BLAST Worm BLAST

Trump's Harvard cuts threaten a giant in biomedical research: A database about the tiny fruit fly

This spring, the Trump administration rescinded a grant that maintained FlyBase, a pillar of global basic research, as part of its broader $2.2 billion funding cuts at Harvard.

Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes 🧬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns? To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome 🪰🧠 Tweeprint! ⬇️1/8

Dear Drosophilist, if you haven’t done so, please support our vital resource and knowledgebase! It takes a lot of people and funding to produce, maintain, update, improve a resource like this, and our key source of funding has been terminated due to politics. Check our wiki page!
FlyBase@FlyBaseDotOrg15 Aug 2025
FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBas…
