The [http://{{flybaseorg}}/cgi-bin/get_static_page.pl?file=bulkdata7.html&title=Current%20Release Current Release page] is a web interface allowing easy access to the main directories and the individual bulk data files available at the [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/ current FlyBase FTP repository]. Files can be downloaded either directly through the web interface or by connecting to the FTP site using an ftp client such as wget. '''Note that the Safari browser does not support browsing of FTP site directories, though it does allow download of individual files.''' The ftp client wget accepts wild card patterns which means you can use a query of the following kind to obtain the latest file without having to specify the FlyBase release number:

The first part of a filename always describes the content of the file, and the second part may contain a FlyBase or genome annotation version number. For example, the file "fbgn_annotation_ID_fb_2018_06.tsv.gz" maps the primary FlyBase gene identifiers (FBgn) to their annotation IDs for the FB2018_06 release of FlyBase. The "dmel-all-CDS-r6.25.fasta.gz" files contains the coding sequences for all D. melanogaster genes from the release 6 of the sequence assembly, annotation release 25.

====RNA-Seq RPKM values matrix (gene_rpkm_matrix_fb_*.tsv.gz)====
 +
A simpler, spreadsheet-friendly version of the "gene_rpkm_report_fb_*.tsv.gz" file. This file provides a gene by expression value matrix based on RNA-Seq experiments. RPKM is calculated as reads per kilobase per million reads (RPKM). RPKM values are calculated only for the unique exonic regions of the gene (excluding segments that overlap other genes), except for genes derived from dicistronic/polycistronic transcripts, in which case all exon regions are used in the RPKM expression calculation. This RPKM matrix lacks the details of how RPKM was calculated for each gene.
 +
 +
Note - In addition to FlyBase calculated RPKM RNA-Seq expression values, FlyAtlas2 data have been incorporated into this file. These data are in FPKM units, calculated by the FlyAtlas group [https://preview.flybase.org/reports/FBrf0258027.html Gillen, 2023].

This file provides the data used to generate the “Fly Cell Atlas Cell Type Expression Data” bar chart displayed on our Gene Report pages. For each gene that was found expressed in the Fly Cell Atlas dataset, it provides the mean expression level and the proportion of positive cells in the same 22 high level cell types displayed in the aforementioned bar chart. These data are calculated from FlyCellAtlas scRNA-Seq data for higher resolution cell clusters (having more detailed cell type classifications). For more detailed FlyCellAtlas data, and other scRNA-Seq data, please see the "Single Cell RNA-Seq Gene Expression" file.

This file reports most high-throughput gene expression data that is featured in the High-Throughput Expression Data section of the FlyBase gene report. Data is sorted first by the expression section in which the dataset is displayed, then by sample ID, then by gene ID. Additional information about the dataset or the sample can be obtained by searching FlyBase with the appropriate FBlc dataset/sample ID (columns 2 and 4). Note that scRNA-Seq data is not included in this file, as it is structured differently; scRNA-Seq data is available in other download files. This file includes the testis specificity index score, as calculated by [http://flybase.org/reports/FBrf0240104.htm Vedelek et al. (2018)]

====Human Orthologs (dmel_human_orthologs_disease_fb_*.tsv.gz)====
 
  
−
This file reports the human orthologs of ''D. melanogaster'' genes using the DIOPT dataset. Each line reports a single orthologous pair, which means that each human and D. melanogaster gene can appear in multiple lines. Note that ortholog calls supported by only 1 or 2 algorithms (DIOPT score <3) have been removed. Human genes are also associated with diseases (OMIM phenotypes) using the OMIM dataset.
+
====Genetic interactions (allele_genetic_interactions_*.tsv)====
 +
The file reports controlled vocabulary (i.e. not free text) genetic interaction data associated with alleles. This is the data reported in the "Phenotypic Class" and "Phenotype Manifest in" subsections of the "Interactions" section of each Allele Report.

====Species abbreviation list (species-ab.gz)====
 
−
 
 
−
The species-abbreviations.txt file lists all the species for which FlyBase has some information. FlyBase includes gene reports for genes derived from species within the family Drosophilidae, as well as gene reports for non-drosophilid genes ("foreign genes") that have been introduced into Drosophila via transgenic constructs and for engineered objects such as a fusion gene between two ''D.melanogaster'' genes. In addition, information about non-Drosophilid species is also displayed in GBrowse, for example in the "Similarity: Proteins" evidence tier. Thus, the file contains information for both Drosophilid and non-Drosophilid species.

 +
 
 +
  * Homozygous or transheterozygous combinations of classical/insertional alleles at a single locus are separated by a '/'.
 +
 
 +
  * Hemizygous combinations affecting a single locus (classical/insertional allele over a deficiency for that locus) are separated by a '/'.

'''field_name=value;'''
+
FlyBase includes gene reports for genes derived from species within the family Drosophilidae, as well as gene reports for non-drosophilid genes that have been introduced into a Drosophila genome via either transposable-element based transgenic constructs or via targeted insertion of DNA by a technique such as homologous recombination or CRISPR/Cas9. In this case, there will be a species 'Abbreviation' in the table, a standard prefix that is used in FlyBase as the first part of the symbol (before the '\') of any object, e.g. a gene or allele, that originates from this species.
  
−
Multiple field values are separated by commas
+
In addition, information about non-Drosophilid species is also included in orthology data that is diplayed on gene reports and on G/JBrowse. In this case, a species 'Abbreviation' is not automatically generated in the database for the species, and thus the column in the table may be blank.

====GFF files====
+
The [http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/docs/refman/refman-G.html#G.2. ontology files] used by FlyBase are in the [http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat OBO format] used by the [http://www.obofoundry.org/ Open Biomedical Ontology] group, and may be viewed using the free [http://www.oboedit.org/ OBO-Edit] tool.
  
−
The FlyBase GFF files follow the [http://www.sequenceontology.org/gff3.shtml GFF v3] specification. The GFF files contain feature line definitions for gene models, predicted features, alignments, and many other features.
+
Ontologies undergo continual development. Links are provided to the 'frozen versions' used for the current release of FlyBase, together with links to the current 'live' versions at external sites.

Introduction

Browse Current Release Page

The Current Release page is a web interface allowing easy access to the main directories and the individual bulk data files available at the current FlyBase FTP repository. Files can be downloaded directly through the web interface.

Browse FTP Files

Users can also browse files on our FTP site, either for the current release or for past releases. It's also possible to browse the FTP file by genomes.
Note that the Safari browser does not support browsing of FTP site directories, though it does allow download of individual files.

Programmatic Download

The ftp client wget accepts wild card patterns which means you can use a query to obtain the latest file without having to specify the FlyBase release number. However, you will need to know the sub-directory in which the file resides: e.g., "genes", "orthologs", etc.

Here are some examples:
wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.tsv.gz
wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/orthologs/dmel_human_orthologs_disease_fb_2022_04.tsv.gz

Opening compressed files

Most of the files are compressed with the GNU gzip program and have the suffix '.gz'. Most modern computers will unpack and open these files automatically after download. Alternatively, the gunzip command may be used on machines runnign Apple OS X or Unix. On a Windows machine we suggest you use the program 7-zip to open these files as several people have reported problems using WinZip. The resulting file should open with any standard text editor.

Archived Data

Data files from previous releases, as well as links to servers hosting older releases of FlyBase, can be accessed via the Archived Data webpage.

Using an FTP client, data files from previous releases can be obtained by including the FlyBase release in the path /releases/<RELEASE_NUMBER>/. For example to retrieve the 'fbgn_annotation_ID' file for the FB2018_06 release, type:

wget "ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/FB2018_06/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.tsv.gz"

or more specifically:

wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/FB2018_06/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_fb_2018_06.tsv.gz

The /releases/current/ path will always point to latest FlyBase release and this directory will have only one copy of the file.

Main Data Set

This section contains links to top-level directories of the FlyBase FTP repository.

Postgres Chado Database Dump

The Chado database link leads to the psql directory of the current FTP repository where you can obtain a dump of the PostgreSQL Chado database. If you have a PostgreSQL client application installed and would like to access the latest FlyBase release without installing the database you can connect to the FlyBase public read only Chado database as: $ psql -h chado.flybase.org -U flybase flybase

The version running on this service is identical to the current web site release.

Drosophila Data

This section contains links to:

  • the current Chado-XML repository, containing the chado XML files generated from the PostgreSQL database for each FlyBase data class for the current FlyBase release. These files contain all the information used to generate FlyBase report pages and reflect the organization of the data in the database. The DTDs for these XML files, listing the structure of the files, are included in this directory.
  • the Genomes FTP repository, containing genome and genome annotation data files (including FASTA, GFF and GTF files) for D. melanogaster and other Drosophila species, organized by genome/FlyBase release number. For releases FB2018_05 and earlier, data are available for each of the original 12 sequenced Drosophila species. For releases FB2018_06 to FB2020_02, data are available only for D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. ananassae, D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis. From release FB2020_03 onward, data are available only for D. melanogaster.

Bulk data files

The remaining sections of the Current Release page are organized by data class/type and provide direct downloads of the current bulk data files from the FTP site. Most files are from the current precomputed files directory of the FTP site and contain useful data for the specified data type (described in detail below). The Genomes files are from the current D. melanogaster FTP genomes directory or the current files for selected other Drosophila species.

The first part of a filename always describes the content of the file, and the second part may contain a FlyBase or genome annotation version number. For example, the file "fbgn_annotation_ID_fb_2018_06.tsv.gz" maps the primary FlyBase gene identifiers (FBgn) to their annotation IDs for the FB2018_06 release of FlyBase. The "dmel-all-CDS-r6.25.fasta.gz" files contains the coding sequences for all D. melanogaster genes from the release 6 of the sequence assembly, annotation release 25.

At the top and bottom of each tab separated text file there are a few lines that describe the file. These lines start with a '#' symbol. The line immediately before the start of the data contains headings for each of the tab separated columns in the file. The file can also include some blank lines to separate information about the version of the file from the description of data in the file.

Superscripts and subscripts are represented in the precomputed data files in the ASCII text format used by FlyBase, which is described in section 10.3 of the Nomenclature document.

Each precomputed data file contains the complete data set for the FlyBase release. If you are looking for information on a defined subset of genes or other FlyBase data type, you can use the Batch Download tool to query the precomputed data files and thus obtain only the data you require. This approach is described in more detail here.


Synonyms

Files described in this section are in the "synonyms" subdirectory of the FTP site. Download the latest file using a query of this form:
wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/synonyms/fb_synonym_*.tsv.gz

FlyBase Synonyms (fb_synonym_*.tsv)

The file reports current symbols and synonyms for the following objects in FlyBase: genes (FBgn), alleles (FBal), balancers (FBba), aberrations (FBab), transgenic constructs (FBtp), insertions (FBti), transcripts (FBtr), and proteins (FBpp).

The file includes:

  • nuclear genes located to the sequence
  • mitochondrial genes
  • genes not located to the sequence
  • genes from drosophilid species and genes from non-drosophilids that have been introduced into transgenic flies

File format:

Column heading Content Description
primary_FBid Primary FlyBase identifier for the object.
organism_abbreviation Abbreviation (from the Species Abbreviations list) indicating the species of origin.
current_symbol Current symbol used in FlyBase for the object.
current_fullname Current full name used in FlyBase for the object.
fullname_synonym(s) Non-current full name(s) associated with the object (pipe separated values).
symbol_synonym(s) Non-current symbol(s) associated with the object (pipe separated values).

Genes

Files described in this section are in the "genes" subdirectory of the FTP site. Download the latest file using a query of this form:
wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.tsv.gz

Genes data (Chado XML)

The chado XML file generated from the FlyBase PostgreSQL database for the 'genes' data class.

Genetic interaction table (gene_genetic_interactions_*.tsv)

The file reports the summary of gene-level genetic interactions in FlyBase. This data is computed from the allele-level genetic interaction data captured by FlyBase curators.

The file includes information for Dmel genes only.

Interactions involving any of the following kinds of allele are considered when the gene-level genetic interaction data is computed:

  • classical mutations
  • alleles carried on transgenic constructs
  • loss-of-function mutations
  • gain-of-function mutations

File format:

Column heading Content Description
Starting_gene(s)_symbol Current FlyBase symbol of gene(s) involved in the starting genotype.
Starting_gene(s)_FBgn Current FlyBase identifier (FBgn#) of gene(s) involved in the starting genotype.
Interacting_gene(s)_symbol Current FlyBase symbol of gene(s) involved in the interacting genotype.
Interacting_gene(s)_FBgn Current FlyBase identifier (FBgn#) of gene(s) involved in the interacting genotype.
Interaction_type Type of interaction observed, either 'suppressible' or 'enhanceable'.
Publication_FBrf Current FlyBase identifier (FBrf#) of publication from which the data came.


Notes:

  • Each row contains information from a single reference. Thus if the same genetic interaction has been reported in multiple references, multiple rows will exist for that genetic interaction in the file.
  • 'suppressible' in column 5 indicates that phenotypes caused by mutation of the gene(s) listed in the starting genotype (column 1) are suppressed by mutation of the gene(s) listed in the interacting genotype (column 3).
  • 'enhanceable' in column 5 indicates that phenotypes caused by mutation of the gene(s) listed in the starting genotype (column 1) are enhanced by mutation of the gene(s) listed in the interacting genotype (column 3).

e.g.

Pten FBgn0026379 Akt1 FBgn0010379 suppressible FBrf0127089

indicates that phenotype(s) caused by a mutation of Pten are suppressed by a mutation of Akt1.

  • For cases where multiple genes are simultaneously mutated in either (or both) the starting and interacting genotype, then the genes involved are separated by a '|' in the relevant columns. In this case, the order of the list of symbols and of the list of ids in columns 1 and 2, or in columns 3 and 4 respectively are the same, so that the FBgn corresponding to the symbol for each gene can easily be identified.

e.g.

robo1|sli FBgn0005631|FBgn0264089 RhoGAP93B FBgn0038853 enhanceable FBrf0191476

indicates that:

  • phenotype(s) caused by a robo1, sli double mutant combination are enhanced by a mutation of RhoGAP93B.
  • FBgn0005631 corresponds to robo1, FBgn0264089 corresponds to sli


RNA-Seq RPKM values (gene_rpkm_report_fb_*.tsv.gz)

This file reports gene expression values based on RNA-Seq experiments, calculated as reads per kilobase per million reads (RPKM). RPKM values are calculated only for the unique exonic regions of the gene (excluding segments that overlap other genes), except for genes derived from dicistronic/polycistronic transcripts, in which case all exon regions are used in the RPKM expression calculation.

File format:

Column heading Content Description
Release_ID The D. melanogaster annotation set version from which the gene model used in the analysis derives.
FBgn# The unique FlyBase gene ID for this gene.
GeneSymbol The official FlyBase symbol for this gene.
Parent_library_FBlc# The unique FlyBase ID for the dataset project to which the RNA-Seq experiment belongs.
Parent_library_name The official FlyBase symbol for the dataset project to which the RNA-Seq experiment belongs.
RNASource_FBlc# The unique FlyBase ID for the RNA-Seq experiment used for RPKM expression calculation.
RNASource_name The official FlyBase symbol for the RNA-Seq experiment used for RPKM expression calculation.
RPKM_value The RPKM expression value for the gene in the specified RNA-Seq experiment.
Bin_value The expression bin classification of this gene in this RNA-Seq experiment, based on RPKM value. Bins range from 1 (no/extremely low expression) to 8 (extremely high expression).
Unique_exon_base_count The number of exonic bases unique to the gene (not overlapping exons of other genes). Field will be blank for genes derived from dicistronic/polycistronic transcripts.
Total_exon_base_count The number of bases in all exons of this gene.
Count_used Indicates if the RPKM expression value was calculated using only the exonic regions unique to the gene and not overlapping exons of other genes (Unique), or, if the RPKM expression value was calculated based on all exons of the gene regardless of overlap with other genes (Total). RPKM expression values are typically reported for the "Unique" count, except for genes on dicistronic/polycistronic transcripts, in which case the "Total" count is reported.

RNA-Seq RPKM values matrix (gene_rpkm_matrix_fb_*.tsv.gz)

A simpler, spreadsheet-friendly version of the "gene_rpkm_report_fb_*.tsv.gz" file. This file provides a gene by expression value matrix based on RNA-Seq experiments. RPKM is calculated as reads per kilobase per million reads (RPKM). RPKM values are calculated only for the unique exonic regions of the gene (excluding segments that overlap other genes), except for genes derived from dicistronic/polycistronic transcripts, in which case all exon regions are used in the RPKM expression calculation. This RPKM matrix lacks the details of how RPKM was calculated for each gene.

Note - In addition to FlyBase calculated RPKM RNA-Seq expression values, FlyAtlas2 data have been incorporated into this file. These data are in FPKM units, calculated by the FlyAtlas group Gillen, 2023.


File format:

Column heading Content Description
gene_primary_id The unique FlyBase gene ID for this gene.
gene_symbol The official FlyBase symbol for this gene.
gene_fullname The official full name for this gene.
gene_type The type of gene: e.g., protein_coding_gene, non_protein_coding_gene.
DATASAMPLE_NAME_(DATASET_ID) Each subsequent column reports the RNA-Seq gene expression value for the sample listed in the header. The dataset "FBlc" ID is listed in parentheses, and can be pasted into FlyBase search to access more information on the sample from the "dataset" report. Expression in most cases was calculated by FlyBase in RPKM units, with the exception of FlyAtlas2 data, which was calculated by the FlyAtlas group and is expressed in FPKM units.

Single Cell RNA-Seq Gene Expression (scRNA-Seq_gene_expression_fb_*.tsv.gz)

This file reports summarized gene expression levels from cell clusters observed in single cell RNA-Seq experiments; these data are processed from data at the EBI Single Cell Expression Atlas. The "Mean_Expression" is the average level of expression of the gene across all cells of the cluster in which the gene is detected at all; the "Spread" is the proportion of cells in the cluster in which the gene is detected. Please see the dataset reports for more experimental details and for links to other data repositories for raw and alternatively processed data.

Fly Cell Atlas gene expression in high-level cell types (FlyCellAtlas_slimmed_gene_expression_fb_*.tsv.gz)

This file provides the data used to generate the “Fly Cell Atlas Cell Type Expression Data” bar chart displayed on our Gene Report pages. For each gene that was found expressed in the Fly Cell Atlas dataset, it provides the mean expression level and the proportion of positive cells in the same 22 high level cell types displayed in the aforementioned bar chart. These data are calculated from FlyCellAtlas scRNA-Seq data for higher resolution cell clusters (having more detailed cell type classifications). For more detailed FlyCellAtlas data, and other scRNA-Seq data, please see the "Single Cell RNA-Seq Gene Expression" file.

NOTE: Not yet available; coming in the FB2023_06 release.

This data is computed by FlyBase using a combination of the orthology data obtained from DIOPT and OrthoDB and the allele-level genetic interaction data curated from the literature. The file contains a list of gene Dmel - to - non-Dmel-ortholog gene pairs where a transgenic construct/mutant allele of the non-Dmel ortholog has been shown to at least partially suppress mutant phenotype(s) of an allele of the Dmel gene.

File format:

Column number Column heading Content Description
1 Dmel gene (symbol) Current FlyBase symbol of Dmel gene.
2 Dmel gene (FBgn) Current FlyBase identifier (FBgn#) of Dmel gene in column 1.
3 Functionally complementing ortholog (symbol) Current FlyBase symbol of a non-Dmel ortholog of the Dmel gene in column 1 where this non-Dmel gene has been show to functionally complement the Dmel gene.
4 Functionally complementing ortholog (FBgn#) Current FlyBase identifier (FBgn#) of a non-Dmel ortholog of the Dmel gene in column 1 where this non-Dmel gene has been show to functionally complement the Dmel gene.
5 Supporting_FBrf Current FlyBase identifier (FBrf#) of the publication that provides support for the functional complementation statement (the publication that reported the suppression of a mutant phenotype of the Dmel gene by a transgenic construct/mutant allele of the non-Dmel ortholog).

Notes:

  • Each row contains information from a single reference. Thus if multiple references support the same functional complementation statement, multiple rows will exist for that statement in the file.

  • A single row contains only information about an EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ accession or information about a UniProtKB/SwissProt/TrEMBL accession or an NCBI Entrez gene ID or an NCBI RefSeq transcript accession.
  • For rows containing information about a EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ accession, a nucleotide accession associated with the gene is listed in column 4 ('nucleotide_accession'). If there is also a EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ protein accession associated with that gene and with the nucleotide accession in column 4, this protein accession is listed in column 5 ('na_based_protein_accession'). In this case, columns 6, 7, 8 and 9 are always empty.
  • For rows containing information about a UniProtKB/SwissProt/TrEMBL protein accession, a protein accession associated with the gene is listed in column 6 ('UniprotKB/Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL_accession'). In this case, columns 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 are always empty.

  • For non-melanogaster annotations, the annotation ID prefix varies by organism: "GD" for D. simulans ("Dsim"), "GF" for D. ananassae ("Dana"), "GA" for D. pseudoobscura ("Dpse") and "GJ" for D. virilis ("Dvir")

FBgn exons <=> Affy1 (fbgn_exons2affy1_overlaps.tsv)

The file is generated by testing for overlaps, no matter how small, of the locations of Affy1 oligos in the genome with the locations of gene exons, as defined by the Dmel gene models for the current release of FlyBase. If the location of an Affy1 oligo shows any kind of overlap with an exon of a gene, a Gene=>Affy reference is recorded in this file.

The extent of the overlap has no influence on the inclusion of a crossreference in this file. The overlap might be just one nucleotide, or it could be an exact match to the exon. For interpretation of the significance of a partial overlap please contact Affymetrix.

The file includes the following Dmel genes:

  • nuclear genes located to the sequence

it excludes:

  • genes not located to the sequence
  • mitochondrial genes

Notes:

  • Each line of the file can contain many tab separated columns:
  • The first column of a line contains the valid FlyBase identifiers of a gene.
  • Subsequent columns: Each Affy1 ID that overlaps with an exon of the gene, as described above, is listed in an additional tab separated column. Thus, this file does not contain a predefined number of columns.


FBgn exons <=> Affy2 (fbgn_exons2affy2_overlaps.tsv)

The file is generated from the location of Affy2 oligos exactly as described for Affy1 oligos above.

Notes:

  • Where groups are arranged into hierarchies:
    • the member genes are only associated with the terminal subgroups,
    • the immediate parent of any subgroup is identified in the ‘Parent_FB_group_id' and 'Parent_FB_group_symbol' columns.
  • Separate lines are used for each member gene, meaning that each terminal group is listed multiple times (equal to the number of member genes).

allele_FBal# Current FlyBase identifier (FBal#) of allele.
interaction Interaction information associated with allele.
FBrf# Current FlyBase identifer (FBrf#) of publication from which data came.

Notes:

  • Each row contains information about a single interaction from a single reference. Thus if multiple genetic interactions have been reported for a given allele, or if multiple references report the same interaction for a given allele, multiple rows will exist for that allele in the file.


Phenotypic data (genotype_phenotype_data_*.tsv)

The file reports controlled vocabulary (i.e. not free text) phenotypic data associated with genotypes. This is the data reported in the Phenotypic Class and Phenotype Manifest in subsections of the Phenotypic Data section of each Allele Report.

qualifier_names Qualifier name(s) associated with phenotypic data for genotype.
qualifier_ids Qualifier identifier(s) associated with phenotypic data for genotype.
reference Current FlyBase identifer (FBrf#) of publication from which data came.

Notes:

  • Each row contains information about a single phenotype from a single reference. Thus if multiple phenotypes have been reported for a given genotype, or if multiple references report the same phenotype for a given genotype, multiple rows will exist for that genotype in the file.
  • For cases where the genotype contains more than one component, then the components are separated as follows (columns 1 and 2):
 * Homozygous or transheterozygous combinations of classical/insertional alleles at a single locus are separated by a '/'.

 * Hemizygous combinations affecting a single locus (classical/insertional allele over a deficiency for that locus) are separated by a '/'.

 * Heterozygosity for a classical/insertional allele or aberration is represented by '/+'.

 * In all other cases, other genotype components (e.g. drivers, transgenic alleles) are separated by a space.
  • Where multiple qualifiers are used to add information to a phenotypic data, then these are separated by a pipe '|' (columns 5 and 6).
  • Where multiple entries/column can exist, the order and separation of the symbols and of the ids are preserved in the column pairs i.e. for genotype, columns 1 and 2 and qualifiers in columns 5 and 6.

Interacting alleles are give as 'FLYBASE:<allele_symbol>; FB:<FBal_ID>', with multiple alleles separated by a comma. For orthology-based annotations, the evidence code is 'inferred from electronic annotation'.
Reference (FBrf ID) Current FlyBase identifier (FBrf#) of the source publication.

Human Orthologs (dmel_human_orthologs_disease_fb_*.tsv.gz)

This file reports the human orthologs of D. melanogaster genes using the DIOPT dataset. Each line reports a single orthologous pair, which means that each human and D. melanogaster gene can appear in multiple lines. Note that ortholog calls supported by only 1 or 2 algorithms (DIOPT score <3) have been removed. Human genes are also associated with diseases (OMIM phenotypes) using the OMIM dataset.

This is identical to the file of the same name listed under the 'Orthologs' section above.

Species list (organism_list_*.tsv.gz)

This file lists all the species for which FlyBase has some information.

FlyBase includes gene reports for genes derived from species within the family Drosophilidae, as well as gene reports for non-drosophilid genes that have been introduced into a Drosophila genome via either transposable-element based transgenic constructs or via targeted insertion of DNA by a technique such as homologous recombination or CRISPR/Cas9. In this case, there will be a species 'Abbreviation' in the table, a standard prefix that is used in FlyBase as the first part of the symbol (before the '\') of any object, e.g. a gene or allele, that originates from this species.

In addition, information about non-Drosophilid species is also included in orthology data that is diplayed on gene reports and on G/JBrowse. In this case, a species 'Abbreviation' is not automatically generated in the database for the species, and thus the column in the table may be blank.

The file thus includes information for both Drosophilid and non-Drosophilid species.


File format:

Column heading Content Description
Genus The genus designation of the organism.
Species name The species designation of the organism.
Abbreviation The standard FlyBase prefix for the species. This abbreviation is used in FlyBase as the first part of the symbol (before the '\') of any object, e.g. a gene or allele, that originates from this species. This column may be blank, if no individual report page exists for that species in FlyBase.
Common name The NCBI Taxonomy Database common name of the organism. This column may be blank.
Ncbi-taxon-id The NCBI Taxonomy Database Taxon ID for the organism. This column may be blank.
drosophilid If the species is from the family Drosophilidae, this column is filled in with 'y'.

FASTA files

The FlyBase FASTA files generally follow the FASTA format guidelines with one exception being that our header lines sometime exceed the 80 character limit. The FASTA filenames follow these formats:

dmel-all--r<release-number>.fasta.gz

or

dmel-<chromosome_arm>-<data_type>-r<release-number>.fasta.gz

Where data_type is one of the following entries in the table below. The all files contain sequences for those data types on all chromosome arms whereas the specific chromosome arm have only those features for that particular chromosome.

Data Type Content Description
aligned The region of genomic sequence that analysis features align to.
CDS The contiguous protein coding sequence which begins with, and includes, a start codon and ends with, and includes, a stop codon.
chromosome The sequence of each chromosome arm.
clones The sequence of full length cDNA, 3' and 5' ESTs, and partial length clones.
exon The sequence of each exon split up into individual FASTA records.
five_prime_UTR The sequence of 5' untranslated regions.
gene The sequence of the gene span.
gene_extended2000 The sequence of the gene span with 2000 base pairs added upstream and downstream.

In the future, it will also contain natural genomic features (aside from transcribed regions), such as replication origins, transcription factor binding sites and boundary elements, and other experimental reagents that map to the genome, such as microarray oligonucleotides and rescue fragments.
synteny The sequence of syntenic regions between two species.
three_prime_UTR The sequence of 3' untranslated regions.

GFF files

The FlyBase GFF files follow the GFF v3 specification. The GFF files contain feature line definitions for gene models, predicted features, alignments, and many other features.

For melanogaster, there are 4 GFF files distributed:

dmel-all-r<release-number>.gff.gz
Contains all major chromosome arms (X, 2L, 2R, 3L, 3R, 4, Y, mitochondrion_genome) and ~1,860 minor scaffolds.
dmel-all-no-analysis-r<release-number>.gff.gz
Same as 'dmel-all' except all match and match_part features have been removed.
dmel-all-filtered-r<release-number>.gff.gz
Same as 'dmel-all' except all trans spliced (SO:0000459) and discistronics (SO:0000722) have been removed.
dmel-<chromosome_arm>-r<release-number>.gff.gz
Contains only a single chromosome arm or minor scaffold as identified by the filename. Included within the dmel-gff_all_scaffolds-r<release-number>.gff.gz folder.


The other species have the all chromosome arm file and also a tar and gzipped file containing the individual scaffolds. Please note that the tarball contains thousands of files in a single directory level so extracting them may result in filesystem performance issues.

The GFF files are produced for each species and can be downloaded from our FTP site using this URL form:

Map conversion tables

Cytological <=> Sequence (genome-cyto-seq.txt)

This is a tab delimited file that FlyBase uses to relate sequence coordinates from release 5 of the Drosophila melanogaster sequence assembly to published cytogenetic map positions. A description of how this is calculated is provided in section G.5.1. of the Reference manual.

The data for each chromosome arm is separated by a line starting with a '#' that lists the name of the chromosome arm and corresponding sequence scaffold.

The columns in the file are:

Column heading Content Description
- Cytogenetic map position as described by Bridges.
- First sequence coordinate for this map position in the sequence scaffold corresponding this chromosome arm.
- Last sequence coordinate for this map position in the sequence scaffold corresponding this chromosome arm.


Cytological <=> Genetic (cytotable.txt)

This is the table that FlyBase uses to infer a genetic map position from a published cytogenetic map position for Drosophila melanogaster.

The first six lines of the file describe the contents of the file or are blank. The data in the file is organized with the cytological position in first four characters of a line followed by a run of spaces and then the genetic map position.


Cyto <=> Genetic <=> Seq (cyto-genetic-seq.tsv)

This is a tab separated file generated from the cytotable.txt and genome-cyto-seq.txt files that infers the relationship between published cytogenetic map positions, genetic map positions and release 6 sequence assembly coordinates for Drosophila melanogaster. Please note that band numbers are not given in this file because they are absent in cytotable.txt.

File format:

Column heading Content Description
Cytogenetic map position Cytogenetic map position.
Genetic map position Genetic map position.
Sequence coordinates (release 6) Sequence coordinates (release 6) for the interval.
R6 conversion notes
