-Already read our FlyBase 101 paper, so you think you know all there is to know about searching FlyBase? What about using TermLink to search using our controlled vocabulary terms, or using QueryBuilder to search across multiple report pages? What's that, want to query our database directly but don't know how? Sounds like you need our [http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/D1/D780 FlyBase 102 - Advanced Approaches to Interrogating FlyBase] paper:

-'''Drosophila Species Stock Center user survey ... Jun 2013'''
-The UCSD Stock Center has created a survey to assess the use of its services. Please take this 5-minute survey to help the Drosophila Species Stock Center align its mission with the needs of the Drosophila community:

-'''Roote & Prokop Mating Scheme Training Package ... Mar 2013 '''
-New to flies and need to learn how to design a genetic mating scheme? Thanks to John Roote and Andreas Prokop, there is now a four-part training package available. Explained in their recent G3 paper, this package is designed to ensure that basic knowledge on all key areas is covered in a concise and informative manner. First, a manual introduces the trainee to key topics including fly history, rationale for mating schemes, fly handling, markers and balancers, and transgenic technologies. This self-study section is followed by a practical training session on gender and marker selection, introducing real flies under the dissecting microscope. Next, through self-study of a PowerPoint presentation, trainees are guided step-by-step through a mating scheme. Finally, to consolidate knowledge, trainees are asked to design similar mating schemes reflecting routine tasks in a fly laboratory.

-'''GenBank Release corresponding to FlyBase release 5.48 ... Jan 2013 '''
-An update to the Drosophila melanogaster annotations was published by NCBI in January 2013. This update is reflected in GenBank (Jan 3), RefSeq (Jan 16), and Entrez Gene (Jan 17) records. This GenBank release corresponds to release 5.48 of the D. melanogaster genome annotation except for the changes noted below. We plan to continue to submit D. melanogaster annotation updates to NCBI approximately once a year. Exceptions to this timetable will occur when the assembly of the reference D. melanogaster genome is updated and annotations are migrated onto the new assembly.
-Differences between the January 2013 GenBank annotations and those in release 5.48 of FlyBase:
-The following transcript isoforms are not present in the GenBank submission and were subsequently deleted in annotation release 5.49 of Dmel in FlyBase as genbank validation and curator evaluation determined they were not valid models:
-        CG17273-RB
-        CG6044-RF
-        su(f)-RH
-The following protein isoforms (and their transcripts) were deleted from the Genbank submission and a new isoform (listed) was created due to inadvertently introduced annotation errors that were subsequently corrected and are also reflected in release 5.49 of Dmel in FlyBase:
-        CG14869-PD deleted - CG14869-PE created
-        CG43248-PB deleted - CG43248-PC created
-        CG8564-PB deleted - CG8564-PC created
-        RhoGAP18B-PG deleted - RhoGAP18B-PH created
-The following protein isoforms (and their transcripts) were renamed respectively in the GenBank submission and subsequent FlyBase releases as the listed suffix had been previously used for a different isoform in a previous GenBank submission:
-        CG8290-PC renamed to CG8290-PD
-        CG9314-PB renamed CG9314-PC
-        CG9855-PB renamed to CG9855-PC

-        (CG32758-PB) renamed CG32758-PC
