The '''Gene Report''' provides information on individual genes. The report also contains summaries and links to individual reports relating to objects associated with the gene, such as mutant alleles of the gene (including both classical alleles and alleles carried within transgenic constructs), transcripts and proteins encoded by the gene and their expression pattern data, and transgenic constructs and insertions. A link to search for stocks carrying these objects is also provided.

As well as including gene reports for genes derived from species within the family Drosophilidae, FlyBase also includes 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.

FlyBase attributes data to the publication that reported it, so that users can easily refer back to the original publication if they wish. Thus, where possible in the fields below, the publication(s) that are the source of the information are listed, typically in parentheses to the right of the data. The exception in the Gene Report is the '''General Information''' section which contains a summary of the identity of the gene, the '''Genomic Location and Detailed Mapping Data''' section which contains a summary of location data, and summary tables in the '''Gene Model and Products''' and '''Alleles and Phenotypes''' sections, which provide links to objects associated with the gene.

|'''GO Summary Ribbons'''    || style="width: 80%;" | '''GO Summary Ribbons''' are graphical summaries, designed to give an immediate overview of a gene product's properties and depth of characterization. They are derived from the [http://geneontology.org/ Gene Ontology (GO)]  terms associated with the gene, divided into aspects of molecular function, biological process and cellular component. The GO annotations are grouped under high-level summary categories and are presented as colored cells in the row or 'ribbon' (see mapping table below for details). The depth of color of each cell indicates how many unique terms are grouped in a particular category. The unique terms that group under a particular cell can be seen by mousing-over the cell. Some terms may group under more than one cell because the GO allows multiple ancestry.

'''Evidence''': The type of evidence used to support the GO term is indicated in the evidence column. The [[FlyBase:Gene Ontology (GO) Annotation##G.3.2. Evidence|evidence code documentation]] contains details of the evidence codes used by FlyBase. More information is available in the Gene Ontology [http://geneontology.org/page/guide-go-evidence-codes Guide to GO Evidence Codes]. Some types of evidence can be supported by other database objects. These objects are identified by their database abbreviation followed by a colon and the unique identifier for the object in that database. A list of current database abbreviations can be found in the [http://www.geneontology.org/doc/GO.xrf_abbs GO.xrf_abbs] file. The [[FlyBase:Gene Ontology (GO) Annotation##G.3.2.

==Tag or Foreign Gene Data==

This section is only displayed in an individual Gene Report if the gene is a "tag" or a "foreign gene". (A "tag" is a DNA fragment that is used to confer a novel property to a gene product, and may be artificial or derived from a Drosophilid or non-drosophilid gene. A "foreign gene" is any non-drosophilid gene that has been introduced into Drosophila, for example via a transgenic construct.) For tags, this section shows the species from which the gene is derived, the nature of the tag, and either a sequence accession number (if available) or a brief description of the tag. For foreign genes, this section shows the species from which the gene is derived, the gene symbol, and where possible an accession number for the gene (either an identifier number from a model organism database, or a sequence accession number).

====2. anatomy - manually curated====
 +
Transcript and polypeptide expression data manually curated by FlyBase from individual publications is presented in a simple yes/no ribbon, in which the presence of curated data is marked by a colored tile. A colorless tile represents absence of manually curated data and can not be used to deduce the absence of expression. The ribbon is generated by using high-level summary categories to group expression curated using the [http://github.com/FlyBase/drosophila-anatomy-developmental-ontology Fly Anatomy Ontology (FBbt)].(See table below for mapping.)
 +
The complete data used to generate this ribbon can be viewed in the Transcript and Polypeptide sections below the ribbon section.

====3. stages - modENCODE RNA-seq====
 +
High-throughput stage specific RNA-seq expression data is presented as a heat map, where a white tile represents no expression detected and the gradient range, from lowest to highest expression bin, is colored from yellow/green to red. This ribbon is a compressed version of the data from the modENCODE RNAseq project. Complete data can be viewed in the modENCODE Development RNA-Seq section under High-Throughput Expression.

This button will return genes with similar RNA-Seq expression patterns. It is currently offered only for the [http://flybase.org/reports/FBlc0000085.html modENCODE_mRNA-Seq_U] developmental profile. Expression data comparisons were not generated by the modENCODE consortium but by FlyBase software. The 'search for similarly expressed genes' button on a gene report initiates a 'fixed' variant of a comparative search (using some fixed predefined search settings specific to expression).
+
Normalized, label-free quantitative (LFQ) protein expression was obtained from [http://{{flybaseorg}}/reports/FBrf0235991.html Casas-Vila et al., 2017] for about 8,000 protein coding genes. Expression values are sorted into one of seven expression level bins (from "at/below limit of detection" to "very high expression"). Expression values are presented as user-configurable histograms, color-coded by expression level bin. Expression values can be downloaded as a tab-separated values (.tsv) file. Links to the relevant dataset reports are at the top left of each section.
  
−
Searching is performed by comparison of gene expression level changes through the set of [similarly ordered] 'experiments' which represent known expression values under different experimental conditions (for staging data, experiments are the different developmental stages, for FlyAtlas data they are expression levels in different bodyparts/ tissues and so on). The purpose of the declared search is to compare sets of expression values from different genes, to determine the tendency of two datasets to vary together, in a somewhat correlated manner. The correlation coefficient is the best statistical test serving such a purpose.

Predefined search settings (currently) include all developmental stages from modENCODE staging data. Sets of expression values from all genes are compared to the 'test' gene, resulting in an output of top matches. This is in the form of a custom HitList which includes graphical representation of the expression profiles. Visual inspection of these profiles might allow the user an idea about the interpretation of the obtained correlation (note, the 'test' gene profile in almost all cases is located at the top of the HitList as naturally, being compared to itself, it gives perfect 100% correlation match).

This section reports co-expression clusters of which the gene is a member, based on RNA-Seq profiles of 30 developmental stages (see the [http://flybase.org/reports/FBlc0000085.html modENCODE_mRNA-Seq_U] dataset report for details). These clusters were generated by two alternative clustering analyses from the modENCODE consortium. The first analysis by [http://flybase.org/reports/FBrf0213979.html The modENCODE Consortium et al., 2010] generated 34 clusters of 10,482 genes, as described in the [http://flybase.org/reports/FBlc0000358.html mE2_34_mRNA_expression_clusters] dataset report. The second analysis by [http://flybase.org/reports/FBrf0213980.html Graveley et al., 2011] generated 20 clusters of 11391 genes, as described in the [http://flybase.org/reports/FBlc0000393.html mE1_20_mRNA_expression_clusters] dataset report. Within a given analysis, genes could only be assigned to a single cluster (or none at all), but a gene may be part of one cluster from each of the two analyses. The report for each expression cluster lists all genes in that cluster (see the "Member" section).

Last Updated: 14th October 2022


The Gene Report provides information on individual genes. The report also contains summaries and links to individual reports relating to objects associated with the gene, such as mutant alleles of the gene (including both classical alleles and alleles carried within transgenic constructs), transcripts and proteins encoded by the gene and their expression pattern data, and transgenic constructs and insertions. A link to search for stocks carrying these objects is also provided.

A locus may have been mapped to the genome and have an annotation, or it may only have been identified genetically via its mutant phenotype. Both types of locus are given gene reports in FlyBase.

As well as including gene reports for genes derived from species within the family Drosophilidae, FlyBase also includes 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.

FlyBase attributes data to the publication that reported it, so that users can easily refer back to the original publication. Thus, where possible in the fields below, the publication(s) that are the source of the information are listed, typically in parentheses to the right of the data.

This is a field-by-field guide to the information provided in the Gene Report.

General Information

Symbol The valid symbol that is used in FlyBase for the gene.

The first part of the symbol (before the '\') is the standard prefix for the species (from the Species Abbreviations list). For species other than D.melanogaster, the species prefix is displayed wherever the gene symbol is used throughout FlyBase. For D.melanogaster genes, the species prefix is only displayed in the General Information section at the top of a Report.

Name The valid full name that is used in FlyBase for the gene.
Feature type A single controlled vocabulary term from the Sequence Ontology (SO), which aims to describe the key type of the gene.

The single term in this field is computed by FlyBase from the full list of SO terms listed in the Sequence Ontology: Class of Gene section of the Gene Report.

See Computed Feature type of genes for a detailed description of how the term is selected.

Gene Model Status The status of the gene model, which represents the summation of the sequence level descriptions of the mature transcripts and, for protein coding genes, coding sequences and polypeptides encoded by an individual gene. Status is reported as follows:

Current The gene has a current gene model (indicated in the report by the presence of an annotation symbol and genomic sequence location).

Uncertain The gene has a current gene model, but supporting data are either inconclusive or ambiguous. Please see "Comments on Gene Model" section of the Gene Report for further explanation.

Incomplete FlyBase annotators have determined that this gene model is incomplete due to genomic assembly/sequencing gaps or unidentified translation start sites.

Withdrawn The gene had a gene model in a previous FlyBase release, but newer data do not support the existence of such a gene model.

Unannotated The gene doesn't have, and has never had, a gene model; the gene is inferred to exist from genetic data only, or, it does not map to the reference genome assembly.

Not Applicable (N/A) There is no FlyBase gene model (and thus no gene model status) for certain types of gene records: non-Drosophilid genes (e.g., Scer\GAL4, Avic\GFP); synthetic genes (e.g., Hsap\T:Hsap\MYC, Zzzz\T:Zzzz\FLAG); natural transposable element genes (e.g., Dmel\copia\GIP, Dmel\gypsy\pol); gene family records (e.g., Dmel\His2A).

Species The organism that the gene originates from, with the initial letter of the genus and the full species name listed.
Annotation symbol The current symbol for the annotation that represents the gene (if applicable).
FlyBase ID The Primary FlyBase identifier number of the gene, used to uniquely identify the gene in the database.

A gene may also have any number of Secondary FlyBase identifier numbers, which are listed in the SECONDARY FLYBASE IDs section of the Gene Report.

Stock availability A list of experimental lines relating to this gene that are available for order from public stock centers.
Enzyme Name (EC) Where relevant, the systematic name(s) for an enzyme together with its Enzyme Commission (EC) number(s). These data are derived from our Gene Ontology (GO) Molecular Function annotations by using the EC cross-references within the GO. Each EC number is linked to the corresponding page at the ExPASy ENZYME database.
Gene Summary A summary is shown at the top of every D. melanogaster gene report, with precedence given to the manually written Gene Snapshot. Where a Gene Snapshot is unavailable, a summary contributed by UniProtKB, Interactive Fly, Alliance of Genome Resources or the automated FlyBase gene summary is shown instead.
All Summaries Links to all the summaries available for this gene.
Also Known As Symbol synonyms that do not match the current gene symbol or annotation ID but have been used to refer to the gene in at least two papers. A maximum of ten case-insensitive synonyms are shown - when synonyms differ only by case, the version associated with most papers is reported.
Keys Links Links to the corresponding pages at other key bioinformatic resources, specifically the Alliance of Genome Resources, NCBI Gene, Ensembl, UniProtKB (canonical isoform from the gene-centric reference proteome (GCRP)) and RNAcentral, the latter two dependent on whether the gene is protein-coding or not. Full and explicit crossreferences for these and other resources are shown in the ‘External Crossreferences and Linkouts’ section.

Foreign Gene Data

This section is only displayed in an individual Gene Report is for a "foreign gene", i.e. any non-drosophilid gene that has been introduced into Drosophila, for example via a transgenic construct. This section shows the species from which the gene is derived, the gene symbol, and where possible an accession number for the gene (either an identifier number from a human or model organism database, or a sequence accession number).

Function

GO Summary Ribbons GO Summary Ribbons are graphical summaries, designed to give an immediate overview of a gene product's properties and depth of characterization. They are derived from the Gene Ontology (GO) terms associated with the gene, divided into aspects of molecular function, biological process and cellular component. The GO annotations are grouped under high-level summary categories and are presented as colored cells in the row or 'ribbon' (see mapping table below for details). The depth of color of each cell indicates how many unique terms are grouped in a particular category. The unique terms that group under a particular cell can be seen by mousing-over the cell. Some terms may group under more than one cell because the GO allows multiple ancestry.
Gene Ontology (GO) Annotations Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabulary (CV) terms assigned to genes based on evidence in external publications and internal analysis. Note that terms are assigned to genes but apply to the product of that gene. The number in parentheses shows the total number of different terms assigned to a gene.

Annotations are divided into three subsections:

Molecular Function

Biological Process

Cellular Component

Within each subsection the terms are divided into 'Terms Based on Experimental Evidence' and 'Terms Based on Predictions or Assertions'.

GO term: Clicking on the term in the CV term column will take you to the relevant GO CV Term Report, which includes a definition of the GO term.

Gene product to term relations: GO CV terms are preceded by a gene product to term relation which imparts a relational meaning between the term and the gene product.

NOT: The qualifier NOT is used to make an explicit note that the gene product is not associated with the GO term.

Evidence: The type of evidence used to support the GO term is indicated in the evidence column. The evidence code documentation contains details of the evidence codes used by FlyBase. More information is available in the Gene Ontology Guide to GO Evidence Codes. Some types of evidence can be supported by other database objects. These objects are identified by their database abbreviation followed by a colon and the unique identifier for the object in that database. A list of current database abbreviations can be found in the GO.xrf_abbs file. The evidence code documentation explains which codes can be used with other database objects and the special meaning attached to using multiple objects in evidence.

More information about how GO terms are assigned can be found under the Classification of Gene Products using Gene Ontology (GO) terms. The current release of GO data for all FlyBase genes can be found in the gene_association.fb file. The latest version of this data is available for download here from the Gene Ontology consortium site. Details about the file format and comments on version differences can be found in the documentation on the Classification of Gene Products using Gene Ontology (GO) terms

Gene Group (FlyBase) Lists any FlyBase Gene Groups the gene is a member of, with a link to the Gene Group Report.
Pathway (FlyBase) Lists any FlyBase Pathways the gene is a member of, with a link to the Pathway Report.

Protein Signatures (InterPro) Lists InterPro protein domains or motifs found in the protein encoded by the gene with link to the corresponding InterPro page.
Catalytic Activity (EC/Rhea) Where relevant, the reaction(s) catalyzed by an enzyme together with their Enzyme Commission (EC) number(s) and RHEA ID(s). These data are derived from our Gene Ontology (GO) Molecular Function annotations by using the EC/Rhea cross-references within the GO. EC numbers are linked to the corresponding page at the ExPASy ENZYME database, and RHEA IDs are linked to the corresponding page at the Rhea database. Clicking on an image of reactant/product in the Rhea graphic links to the corresponding page at the ChEBI database.

Variants

Variant Molecular Consequences Variants data from FlyBase are run through the Ensembl VEP (Variant Effect Predictor) pipeline, and the results are displayed in a scrolling table. The VEP algorithm considers the genomic location, mutation type, and nucleotide change of a variant to calculate the molecular consequence on all of the overlapping transcripts affected by the variant. In addition to reporting the molecular change to the transcripts and encoded CDS, it assigns a Sequence Ontology (SO)-based consequence term to each variant/transcript combination.

The table displays, for each variant, all genes that are potentially affected by that variant, any alleles of those genes associated with the variant, and the predicted consequences to all affected transcripts. The gene that is the subject of the report is highlighted in the table.

This is the result of a collaboration between FlyBase, Alliance of Genome Resources and Ensembl.

Alleles Representing Disease-Implicated Variants A table showing mutants or transgenic alleles that have been used as models for a human disease. The phenotype(s) being studied must recapitulate some aspect of the human disease for the allele to be considered a model.

The results are shown in an interactive table with columns for allele, human variant designation, human variant synonyms, external links, human disease model, the originating reference, the number of references associated with the allele, and comments.

The tables have many features to optimize usability, including pagination for very large lists, row filtering by column (click on the column heading), row sorting by column (insert search term in the Filer... box), the ability to hide/show individual columns (access from button at upper right corner of table), column reordering (click and drag the column header), and the ability to export to a Hitlist, CSV, or Excel (button at upper left corner of table).

Disease Model Summary Ribbon

This ribbon summarizes Disease Ontology annotations for disease models in FlyBase, as given in the "Models Based on Experimental Evidence" and "Potential Models Based on Orthology" subsections below. (Modifier and negative annotations are excluded.) The ribbon is broken into broad categories of infection, anatomical entity, proliferation and other diseases, and is analogous to the equivalent ribbon used at the Alliance of Genome Resources.

Disease Ontology (DO) Annotations

Human Disease model data curated using disease terms from the Disease Ontology.

Models Based on Experimental Evidence A table showing any human disease(s) that are being modelled by a given mutant or transgenic allele. The phenotype(s) being studied must recapitulate some aspect of the human disease for the allele to be considered a model. In some cases, an allele may be expected to produce a disease phenotype but does not. These unexpectedly negative results are also shown.

The table consists of four columns:

Allele - The alleles of the gene that is being used as a model.

Disease - Indicates whether or not the allele is modeling the disease ('model of' or 'DOES NOT model') followed by the name of the disease (from the Disease Ontology).

Evidence - CEA (combinatorial experimental and author inference evidence used in manual assertion; ECO:0007013) is used when an annotation is made based on experimental evidence AND the disease term used agrees with that stated by the authors. This is the most commonly used evidence code. CEC (combinatorial experimental and curator inference evidence used in manual assertion; ECO:0007014) is used when an annotation is made based on experimental evidence BUT the disease term used has been determined by a curator rather than based on a statement by the authors of the paper. Use of this evidence code is relatively rare, restricted to cases where (i) the disease stated by the authors is relatively general (e.g. “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis”), but the curator can provide a more specific subtype (e.g. “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 6”) based on the given human gene/variant and its known relationship to a specific disease (e.g. in OMIM); or (ii) the authors have made a mistake in the given gene-to-disease relationship. If the given allele only models the disease in combination with another allele, the word with is displayed followed by the symbols of other allele(s), with hyperlinks to the relevant allele report pages. Note that any drivers that are required for the expression of transgenic alleles are not listed in this section.

References - lists the reference(s) that describe the model.

This information is also shown on the individual allele reports.

The information displayed in this table can be downloaded using the 'Models Data' button at the top of the section.

Potential Models Based on Orthology A table showing any disease(s) that are associated with the human ortholog of the given D. melanogaster gene.

The table consists of four columns:

Human Ortholog - the human gene orthologous to the given D. melanogaster gene

Disease - the name of the disease (from the Disease Ontology) associated with that human gene, as annotated in OMIM

Evidence - this is always 'inferred from electronic annotation'

References - lists the reference (FBrf0241599) describing the logic of this orthology-based algorithm.

Modifiers Based on Experimental Evidence A table showing interactions of this allele with other disease-causing allele(s)

The table consists of four columns:

Allele - The alleles of the gene that is being used as a model.

Disease - the nature of the interaction ('exacerbates' or 'ameliorates' and the name of the disease (from the Disease Ontology). This column also indicates if the allele is not modifying a disease (prefixed with DOES NOT).

Interaction - 'modeled by' followed by the symbol of the allele that is modeling the disease, with hyperlinks to the relevant allele report pages.

References - lists the reference(s) that describes the model.

This information is also shown on the individual allele reports.

Comments on Models/Modifiers Based on Experimental Evidence Curated comments that highlight certain features of a model, for example, when particular aspects of a disease phenotype are modeled while others are not. These comments are used sparingly to avoid duplication with phenotype information.

This information is also shown on the individual allele reports.

The information displayed in this table can be downloaded using the 'Interactions Data' button at the top of the section.

Human Orthologs (via DIOPT) and Disease Associations

Orthology calls between D. melanogaster and human, as provided by the DRSC Integrative Ortholog Prediction Tool (DIOPT), together with links to relevant gene and phenotype reports at the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. The DIOPT approach integrates ortholog predictions from multiple tools, thereby giving an overview of potential orthologs derived from different algorithms. (Further documentation is here.)

Only predicted orthologs with a score of equal or greater than 3 (at least three prediction tools support this prediction) are shown.

The columns are:

  • Gene Name: the official human gene symbol and name, as used at (and linked to) the HGNC
  • Score: the number of tools that support a given orthologous gene-pair relationship compared to the total number of tools that compute orthology relationships for those two species (expressed as "X of Y")
  • OMIM: the OMIM number for this human gene, linked to the corresponding OMIM gene report
  • OMIM Phenotype: any phenotypes associated with the human gene, as reported in OMIM, and linked to the corresponding OMIM phenotype report
  • DO Term: The Disease Ontology term equivalent to the given OMIM term, as determined by the OMIM cross-references within the DO.
  • Complementation: Where applicable, a link in the form of a yin-yang symbol to data indicating that an orthologous gene has been show to functionally complement the D. melanogaster gene
  • Transgene in Fly: Where applicable, a link to a FlyBase Gene Report for the human gene, indicating that it has been expressed transgenically in Drosophila

Functional Complementation Data

This section reports when functional complementation of Dmel genes by non-Dmel orthologs has been observed. 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 table shows 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.

The columns are:

  • Dmel gene: current FlyBase symbol of Dmel gene
  • Ortholog showing functional complementation: 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.
  • Supporting References: list of publications that reported the suppression of a mutant phenotype of the Dmel gene by a transgenic construct/mutant allele of the non-Dmel ortholog.

For participating stock centers, clicking on the stock number will take you to the appropriate stock report.

Genomic Clones

A list of genomic clones that are associated with this gene. The number of genomic clones is indicated in parentheses. Clicking on the 'List GenBank IDs' button generates a table of genomic clones related to the gene with links to GenBank records.

Note: FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete.

cDNA Clones

This section lists cDNA clones that have been associated with this gene. The number of cDNA clones is indicated in parentheses. It is subdivided to distinguish fully sequenced clones from those which have only been partially characterized. Clones that are part of the BDGP DGC collection are listed separately from the other clones.

These associations are primarily automated and at this time include clones containing inserts that support the gene model as well as clones containing inserts that overlap the gene model but do not support any of the currently annotated transcripts. Efforts have been made to eliminate from this list clones that overlap the gene model but support another gene model in the same genomic region (i.e. a gene nested within an intron of another gene). In addition, clones containing sequences that overlap transposable elements have been excluded from this list.

We plan to subdivide clones into those that completely support a gene model and those that overlap but do not support an annotation in a future iteration of the report but at this time care should be taken to assess the sequences linked to the clone before using a clone as a reagent.

The default view of publications for protein-coding genes is the Representative Publications field. This aims to display papers (up to 100) that are most likely to contain the most information on the gene. These publications are identified and scored using an algorithm that assesses the amount and type of data within FlyBase attached to each gene, from each publication. The annotation data being assessed includes (in order of significance): the presence of the gene name/symbol in the title/abstract, the number of Gene Ontology annotations, the number of mutant alleles, the presence of antibody data and the presence of expression data.
