Split System Combinations now searchable by expression pattern
We have modified the search results of the ‘GAL4 etc’ Quicksearch tab to support expression pattern-based searches of Split System Combinations. The updated results table now includes an option to display results for either single alleles (including hemidrivers), or for split system combinations. For more information, see this FlyBase Tootorial or FlyBase Skeetorial.
More Stock Links
Stock reports have been added for RNAi lines from the NIG_RNAi_Fly-1 collection that are available from the National Institute of Genetics Fly Stocks (NIG-Fly). Links to the stock reports are shown in the Stocks sections of relevant report pages, including the Gene Reports.
Experimental tool updates
More sub-categories have been added to our controlled vocabulary to describe split system components, and transgenic alleles and constructs encoding these tools are now labelled with the more specific term on the appropriate reports. Examples of new sub-categories include split RNA-guided nuclease and split protease.
Updated Gene Reports for non-D. melanogaster genes
Gene Reports for non-Drosophila melanogaster genes (foreign transgenes, non-melanogaster Drosophilids, etc.) have been improved in this release. Empty sections of the Report that were not relevant for these genes have been removed, and other features have been adjusted to be more relevant for these genes.
New Macromolecular Complex & Gene Group Report Pages
Over 30 new reports have been added to the Gene Group collection, many of which are enzyme complexes and functional groups related to metabolic processes and mitochondrial function. These include the GLUTAMYL-TRNA(GLN) AMIDOTRANSFERASE COMPLEX, SERINE C-PALMITOYLTRANSFERASE COMPLEX, UDP-N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE TRANSFERASE COMPLEX, GAMMA-BUTYROBETAINE HYDROXYLASES, MITOCHONDRIAL TRIFUNCTIONAL PROTEIN COMPLEX and MITOCHONDRIAL DISULFIDE RELAY SYTEM.
