Ensembl Drosophila What's New v11.3.1 (03 March 2003)

	Ensembl: Latest Developments
	v11.3.1 update    Drosophila 11.3 Release 11.3.1 is a schema update, made to accompany the Human, Rat and C.elegans releases. The data on the Ensembl Fruitfly site is a direct import of the Release 3 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.
