New FlyBase commentary: Using AI to get FlyBase data. I'm going to post some brief talking points, but please read the whole thing: flybase.org/commentaries...

We are pleased to announce a major donation to support the work of the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center. Lawerence Washington, husband of former BDSC director Kathy Matthews, has established an endowment in her honor. bdsc.indiana.edu/news-events/...

🎉 Congratulations to GSA members on their election to @nasonline.org, one of the highest honors in science. We’re proud to celebrate their outstanding contributions. 🔗: buff.ly/C5yidrQ 🧵⬇️

Also in FlyBase release FB2026_02: We have added 5 new drivers the Frequently Used GAL4 And Other Binary System Drivers resource flybase.org/GAL4/freq_us..., for a total of 387 drivers (most with images). This resource includes all GAL4's curated to 20+ papers, & lexA's curated to 15+ papers.

FlyBase release FB2026_02 is live! As of this release we now have 2000 gene group reports🎉, including 1453 ‘classical’ gene group reports flybase.org/lists/FBgg, 399 protein complex reports flybase.org/lists/FBgg/c..., 96 metabolic pathway reports flybase.org/lists/FBgg/m... (continued)

Steven (@steven-flybase.bsky.social) is group manager, curator & nomenclature advisor at FlyBase (@flybase.bsky.social) Cambridge. He leads the FlyBase Gene Group resource, contributes to the Gene Ontology, & collaborates with Rhea, Reactome, RNACentral, UniProt, HGNC, & Alliance of Genome Resources

The International Society for #Biocuration (ISB) would like to congratulate the recipients of the 2026 Excellence in Biocuration Early and Advanced Career awards, Pascal Carme (Early) and Steven Marygold (Advanced)!

I finally had some time to improve my poster about staging Drosophila embryos in collaboration with @stramerlab.bsky.social and we would like to share this with the community! You can find it here or at a higher resolution on my portfolio: www.behance.net/gallery/2458... #DrosophilaEmbryogenesis

April #Technical_Advances are here early wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...! You can have your paper reporting a cool new resource, technique, or reagent featured in an upcoming month...just flag it when you #FTYP.

Do you access www.alliancegenome.org via API? A number of significant backend changes have removed or modified existing Alliance public API endpoints. You can find details in the Release Notes www.alliancegenome.org/release-notes

The Alliance has recently added a Disease Portal www.alliancegenome.org/disease-portal The top of the page includes links to Models, Genes, and Alleles annotated with Disease Ontology terms. Following any of those links takes you to the relevant section of the DO term report for 'disease' (DO:4).

www.alliancegenome.org version 9.0.0 is now live. In addition to data refreshes from each of the model organism source databases, we've added some new features and made backend improvements. Details are available in the Alliance Release notes www.alliancegenome.org/release-notes

We’re already thinking about #Dros27—and we’d love to hear from you. What are you looking forward to at next year’s meeting? Who are you hoping to connect with? Tell us below. 🔽

Incredibly honored to be awarded the #Drosophila Community Service Award this morning at #Dros26. A huge 'thank you' to all our users and all the data generators whose hard work has made our own possible. Look for our completely revised interface with improved search & download coming soon!

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.
