Message-ID: <4A659CFD.8030004@flymine.org> We have released version 18.0 of FlyMine (www.flymine.org) In this release data from FlyBase has been updated to release FB2009_06 and orthologue data from TreeFam (www.treefam.org) has been added. FlyMine now includes orthologue data from both TreeFam and Inparanoid (http://inparanoid.sbc.su.se/cgi-bin/index.cgi) - see below for some example template queries which allow you to choose which of these datasources you want to use. In addition, orthologues between /D. melanogaster/ and other /Drosophila/ species now come directly from FlyBase (gene_orthologs_fb_2009_06.tsv.gz) rather than the original Clark-Eisen analysis (PMID: 17994087) - see below for a template query to access this data. Many other data sources have been updated to the latest versions.

It provides maximal genome coverage using the fewest molecularly defined chromosomal deficiencies. The new Df Kit uses deficiencies with breakpoints mapped to the genome sequence while the breakpoints of most deficiencies in the old Kit had had been mapped only by polytene cytology. The new Df Kit should make mapping mutations and screening for genetic modifiers much more straightforward.

They are P{lacW} insertions and most are on FRT chromosomes. (See Oh et al. (2003) Genetics 163:195 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12586707 ). We are keeping them TEMPORARILY as we are considering some for the GDP collection, but we intend to discard the rest at which time they will be lost forever. Hence, if anyone needs the lines, please go to: http://flypush.imgen.bcm.tmc.edu/SHlethal/ where you can search (bear in mind there are few lines and only on chr 2 and 3, so your search may not yield anything). Or, scroll through the full list here: http://flypush.imgen.bcm.tmc.edu/SHlethal/lines.php . Email me (kschulze@bcm.edu ) your information (name, shipping address, telephone # and FedEx #) if you see a line that you would like to have. Friday, August 21, 5pm Houston time, and the stocks will be discarded. ----- Karen L.
