Start working on those abstracts y’all! #cshlfly23 #SaveTheDate

Starting very soon (10 AM Central Time): If you're registered for ADRC #Dros23 you can visit the app to join today's virtual CRISPR workshop with presentations on technologies and resources you won't want to miss!

Today's #FlyBaseTweetorial goes out to the user who wanted to know how to find a cDNA for a specific #transcript_isoform at #DROS23. We showed him the hard way to do it, and remembered the easy way a few minutes later. FlyBase user studying kayak, this is for you. (1 of 2)

PANGEA allows single or multiple lists of genes to be computationally compared against various gene sets, like GO annotation and Reactome pathways. PANGEA includes many gene sets not available in other enrichment tools.

We've added a new graphical display for the Fly Cell Atlas single-cell RNA-Seq data, found in the “High-Throughput Expression Data” subsection of the Expression section of Gene Reports. This new graph shows how a gene is expressed across the major cell types of the adult fly.

Excited to see use of our NanoTag technology reported in a preprint from the Gelfand lab: Drosophila oocyte specification is maintained by the dynamic duo of microtubule polymerase Mini spindles/XMAP215 and dynein biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New tech: Genome-wide CRISPRa screening in fly cells!

Calling all European fly researchers! The 2023 European Drosophila Board elections are open! Closing date is May 19th. The candidate statements and voting link are on the EDS web site: europeandrosophilasociety.org/node/15 Make your vote count! Results announced EDRC2023

Save the date, Boston fly folks -- the 2023 Boston Area Drosophila meeting will be June *14*! bostonareadrosophilameeting.com

Drosophila community friends - please help spread the word for nominations for the Elkins Memorial Lecture at the 2023 Cold Spring Harbor Neurobiology of Drosophila Meeting. It’s a great opportunity to support and recognize our graduate student colleagues in the field!

Our newest online resource, PANGEA, and many others for #Drosophila, other genetic model organisms, mosquitos, and more can be accessed at our 'tools overview' page: fgr.hms.harvard.edu/tools

#DIOPT 9.1 now also includes predictions for A. gambiae (African malaria mosquito) and E. coli. (Thanks to Rob Waterhouse also @rmwaterhouse.bsky.social for doing a release tweet for us!) DRSC-BTRR & DRSC-TRiP at Harvard Med School
