Curation of Transgene Expression in VFB

Details of the curation procedure for transgene expression patterns.
Transgene expression into FlyBase and Virtual Fly Brain (VFB)

Virtual Fly Brain (VFB) and FlyBase curators record information from the literature about the expression of single transgenes using ontology terms and load this into FlyBase. VFB combines curated expression, genetic and publication data from FlyBase with 3D images of the expression patterns aligned to standard templates. These annotated images can then be searched and queried via the web interface or APIs.
