#  Where can I find Drosophila gene and genome information? 

 



[The FlyBase database](http://flybase.org/) is considered by many the 'go-to' resource for *Drosophila melanogaster* gene and genome information.  
Additional resources include the following, many of which get their underlying fly gene and/or genome information from [FlyBase](http://flybase.org/).

[FlyMine](http://www.flymine.org/) (good for batch searches with a list of genes)  
[Gene2Function](http://www.gene2function.org/search/) (good for viewing an overview of gene information for a fly gene as well as for orthologs in other species)  
[DIOPT](http://www.flyrnai.org/diopt) (good for finding orthologs of one or more gene among nine species, including humans and flies, for one or more genes)  
[Manchester Fly Facility 'fly links'](http://www.flyfacility.ls.manchester.ac.uk/flylinks/) and [FlyBase External Resources](http://flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase:External_Resources), as well as the [Information Resources](/links) page on this site (including the "[online resources](/links/linktype/online-resource)" and "[online databases](/links/linktype/online-software-tool-or-database)" categories), provide links to many additional and specialized databases.
