The data on the Ensembl Fruitfly site is a direct import of the Release 3.1
FlyBase dataset; no additional gene
build has been carried out, however repeats, blast hits from the Swall
database and protein features have been computed through the Ensembl
pipeline.
We have included Drosophila into the Ensembl system to allow people to
access the Fly genome through the Ensembl user interface (both for
visualisation and data mining) and to provide cross-species integration
throught our comparative genomics resources (such as homologous gene links
and family pages).
The canonical data for Drosophila is managed at FlyBase and we are working in
partnership with them to provide feedback on their resources.
