The "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/cgi-bin/get_static_page.pl?file=bulkdata7.html&title=Current%20Release Current Release page]" (referred to herein as the "Precomputed files" page) lists data files generated from the current release of FlyBase and links to the [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/ current FTP repository]. Data from the previous five releases can be found on the "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/cgi-bin/get_static_page.pl?file=archivedata3.html&title=Archived%20Releases Archived data files for recent releases]" page (referred to herein as the "Archived data" page), as well as links to servers hosting older releases of FlyBase, and all the release notes and news archives from FB2006_01. If you are looking for old data and cannot find it on the "Archived data" page please follow a link to the [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/ FTP repository].

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 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:
  
===Known issues===
+
$ wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.tsv.gz
  
Safari does not connect properly to the FlyBase FTP site. You should be able to download individual files using Safari but you will not be able to browse the FTP repository.
 
  
==The FTP archive==
+
===Opening compressed files===
 +
Most of the files are compressed with the [http://www.gzip.org/ 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 [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip] to open these files as several people have reported problems using WinZip. The resulting file should open with any standard text editor.
  
The "Main Data Set" section of the "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/cgi-bin/get_static_page.pl?file=bulkdata7.html&title=Current%20Release Precomputed files]" page provides links to FlyBase FTP repository. 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
+
===Archived Data===
 +
Data files from previous releases, as well as links to servers hosting older releases of FlyBase, can be accessed via the [http://{{flybaseorg}}/downloads/archivedata Archived Data] webpage.
  
The version running on this service is identical to the current web site release.
+
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:
  
The "Drosophila Data" section contains links to other sections of the FTP repository. The data can be accessed either by the version of FlyBase (The "[ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/ Current FTP repository]") or for sequence data by the annotation release of a particular Drosophila species (see the "[ftp://ftp.flybase.net/genomes/ Genomes FTP archive]")
+
$ wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/FB2018_06/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.tsv.gz
  
==General information about the available files==
+
or more specifically:
  
===File names===
+
$ wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/FB2018_06/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_fb_2018_06.tsv.gz
The first part of a filename always describes the content of the file, for example the file fbgn_annotation_ID_fb_2008_10.tsv.gz maps the primary FlyBase identifiers to the annotation symbols used for genes.
 
  
Many of the precomputed data filenames also contain a release or version number. In the example above "fb_2008_10" denotes version FB2008_10 of FlyBase. Sequence data files, such as dmel-all-CDS-r5.13.fasta.gz, denote the annotation release that the data relates to as '-r5.13'. The 'r5' indicates the data is taken from the release 5 of the sequence assembly and the '13' after the decimal point specifies the annotation release.
+
The /releases/current/ path will always point to latest FlyBase release and this directory will have only one copy of the file.  
  
The following notation is used for different file formats:
 
  
:'''Tab separated files''' are indicated by the extension ''''.tsv''''
+
==Main Data Set==
:'''[http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat OBO format files]''', which are used for the ontologies, are denoted ''''.obo''''
 
:'''Plain text''' files are given the extension ''''.txt''''
 
:Files containing nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence data in the '''FASTA''' format are listed as ''''.fasta''''
 
:'''GFF''' files include the suffix ''''.gff''''
 
:'''GTF''' files include the suffix ''''.gtf''''
 
:'''XML''' data files are denoted ''''.xml''''
 
  
Most of the files listed on the "Precomputed files" page and the "Archived data" page are compressed with the [http://www.gzip.org/ GNU gzip] program. These files end with the suffix '.gz'. The ontology files are compressed in the ZIP file format, as indicated by the suffix '.zip'.
+
This section contains links to top-level directories of the [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/ FlyBase FTP repository].
  
===Accessing files===
+
===Postgres Chado Database Dump===
Files can be downloaded either directly through the web interface, or by using an ftp client such as wget to obtain the file from the FTP repository. Please note that at present Safari fails to connect to the FTP repository correctly, so we recommend that you use another browser if you wish to access the files through the web interface. 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:
 
  
$ wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.tsv.gz
+
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 /releases/current/ path will always point to latest FlyBase release and this directory will have only one copy of the file. Archived copies of the files from previous releases can be obtained by including the FlyBase release in the path /releases/<RELEASE_NUMBER>/. For example to retrieve this file for the FB2008_05 release, type:
+
The version running on this service is identical to the current web site release.
  
$ wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/FB2008_05/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.tsv.gz
+
===Drosophila Data===
  
or more specifically:
+
This section contains links to:
 +
* the [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/ current FTP repository], containing all files for the current FlyBase release
  
$ wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/FB2008_05/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_fb_2008_05.tsv.gz
+
* the [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/chado-xml current Chado-XML repository], containing the chado XML generated from the PostgreSQL database files 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 [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/genomes/ 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 release FB2018_05 and earlier, data is available for each of the original 12 sequenced Drosophila species. From release FB2018_06 onward, data is available only for D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. ananassae, D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis.
  
===Opening compressed files===
 
Microsoft and Apple include built-in ZIP support in later versions of their operating systems. These files can also be opened with the free program [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip].
 
  
On OS X or Unix a GZIP compressed file can be extracted with the gunzip command. On a Windows machine we suggest that you use the program [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip] to open these files, because several people have reported problems using WinZip. You should be able to open and read the resulting file with any text editor.
+
==Bulk data files==
  
 +
The remaining sections of the [http://{{flybaseorg}}/cgi-bin/get_static_page.pl?file=bulkdata7.html&title=Current%20Release 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 [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/ 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 [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/genomes/Drosophila_melanogaster/current current D. melanogaster FTP genomes directory] or the current files for selected other Drosophila species.
  
==Types of files available==
+
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.
  
===XML files===
+
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.
  
These files are generated from the PostgreSQL Chado database for each release of FlyBase. The Chado XML files contain all the information used to generate the 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 posted in the chado-xml directory of the FTP repository for each release. For the latest versions of the DTDs please see:
+
Superscripts and subscripts are represented in the precomputed data files in the ASCII text format used by FlyBase, which is described in [[FlyBase:Nomenclature#10.3|section 10.3]] of the Nomenclature document.
  
ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/chado-xml/
+
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 [http://{{flybaseorg}}/batchdownload Batch Download] tool to query the precomputed data files and thus obtain only the data you require. This approach is described in more detail [https://wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase:Batch_Download here].
  
The XML files can also be obtained directly from the "Precomputed files" page by clicking on the "download" link under the ChadoXML heading in the appropriate section. The Chado XML files are available for genes, alleles, stocks, transcripts, polypeptides, insertions, transgenic (recombinant) constructs, aberrations, balancers, clones, and references.
 
  
===Ontology files===
+
===Synonyms===
  
The [http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/docs/refman/refman-G.html#G.2. controlled vocabularies] (aka ontologies) used by FlyBase are available under the Ontology Terms section of the "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/downloads/bulkdata7.html Precomputed files]" page. Each controlled vocabulary is described in detail in [[FlyBase:Controlled vocabularies used by FlyBase|section G.2]]. of the Reference Manual. The files 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 are designed to be used with the free [http://www.oboedit.org/ OBO-Edit] tool.
+
====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).
  
Controlled vocabularies undergo continual development; terms and definitions are refined, added, merged, split and obsoleted in an effort to improve the way they represent their various subjects. On the "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/downloads/bulkdata7.html Precomputed files]" page the frozen versions of the controlled vocabularies used for the current release of FlyBase are available, and there are also links to the current 'live' versions maintained by the [http://www.obofoundry.org/ Open Biomedical Ontology] group.
+
The file includes:
  
Frozen versions of the controlled vocabularies used for previous releases of FlyBase are available on the "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/downloads/archivedata3.html Archived data]" page, and in the following directories of the FTP repository:
+
* 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

Precomputed data files that contain useful sets of data are generated for every release of FlyBase. For example, the file fbgn_NAseq_Uniprot_fb_2008_10.tsv.gz contains the mapping between valid  [[FlyBase:RefMan_F.#FlyBase_Identifier_Numbers|FlyBase identifiers]] and the corresponding nucleic acid and protein accession numbers used by DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank and UniprotKB/Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL. These files can be found under the "Other" heading of each section of the "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/downloads/bulkdata7.html Precomputed files]" and "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/downloads/archivedata3.html Archived data]" pages, and are also available under the precomputed_files directory of each FlyBase release in the [ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/ FTP repository].

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.

|'''Alt ID(s) Interactor B'''
Each precomputed data file available for download on the "[http://{{flybaseorg}}/static_pages/downloads/bulkdata7.html Precomputed files]" page contains the complete data set for the FlyBase release. Please note, if you are only looking for information on a defined subset of genes, or other FlyBase data type, you can query the current set of precomputed data files through the [http://{{flybaseorg}}/batchdownload Batch Download] tool to obtain the data you require. This approach is described in more detail in [https://wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase:Batch_Download this] help document.

This file 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 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.

====FBgn exons <=> Affy1 (fbgn_exons2affy1_overlaps.tsv)====
+
* Separate lines are used for each member gene, meaning that each terminal group is listed multiple times (equal to the number of member genes).
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:

Notes:
* '''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.
 
  
 +
* The absence of an HGNC_family_ID entry indicates there is no equivalent HGNC gene family for that FlyBase gene group.
  
 +
* Because of different sub-group structures (etc), a single HGNC family may be associated with multiple FlyBase gene groups.
  
====FBgn exons <=> Affy2 (fbgn_exons2affy2_overlaps.tsv)====

====Human Orthologs (dmel_human_orthologs_disease_fb_*.tsv.gz)====
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.
+
 
 +
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.

===Nomenclature===
  
 +
====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.
  
====Phenotypic data (allele_phenotypic_data_*.tsv)====
+
There are 8 columns of data in the file, each separated by " | ".
The file reports controlled vocabulary (i.e. not free text) phenotypic data associated with alleles. This is the data reported in the "Phenotypic Class" and "Phenotype Manifest in" subsections of the "Phenotypic Data" section of each Allele Report.

====FASTA files====
  
* Each row is a pair-wise association beween a ''D. melanogaster'' gene and a non-melanogaster ortholog. Thus, multiple rows exist for each ''D. melanogaster'' gene in the file.
+
The FlyBase FASTA files generally follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasta_format 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-<data type>-r<release-number>.fasta.gz'''
  
 +
or
  
 +
'''dmel-<chromosome_arm>-<data_type>-r<release-number>.fasta.gz'''
  
====Human Orthologs (dmel_human_orthologs_disease_fb_*.tsv.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.  
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.

Introduction

The Current Release page is a web interface allowing easy access the main directories and the individual bulk data files available at the 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:

$ wget ftp://ftp.flybase.net/releases/current/precomputed_files/genes/fbgn_annotation_ID_*.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 generated from the PostgreSQL database files 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 release FB2018_05 and earlier, data is available for each of the original 12 sequenced Drosophila species. From release FB2018_06 onward, data is available only for D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. ananassae, D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis.


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

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 (comma separated values).
symbol_synonym(s) Non-current symbol(s) associated with the object (comma separated values).

Genes

Genes data (Chado XML)

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.

Functional complementation table (gene_functional_complementation_*.tsv)

This file 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 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

  • 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.

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.

FB_group_name Current FlyBase full name of Gene Group.
Parent_FB_group_id Current FlyBase identifier (FBgg##) of parent of given Gene Group (if relevant).
Parent_FB_group_symbol Current FlyBase symbol of parent of given Gene Group (if relevant).
Group_member_FB_gene_id Current FlyBase identifier (FBgn##) of member gene (if terminal group).
Group_member_FB_gene_symbol Current FlyBase symbol of member gene (if terminal group).

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).


Gene groups with HGNC IDs (gene_groups_HGNC_*.tsv)

This file reports all Gene Groups in FlyBase, together with the corresponding HGNC 'gene family' ID (where relevant).

File format:

Column heading Content Description
FB_group_id Current FlyBase identifier (FBgg##) of Gene Group.
FB_group_symbol Current FlyBase symbol of Gene Group.
FB_group_name Current FlyBase full name of Gene Group.
HGNC_family_ID HGNC ID of equivalent human 'gene family'.

Notes:

  • The absence of an HGNC_family_ID entry indicates there is no equivalent HGNC gene family for that FlyBase gene group.
  • Because of different sub-group structures (etc), a single HGNC family may be associated with multiple FlyBase gene groups.
  • Similarly, a single FlyBase gene group may be associated with multiple HGNC gene families - these are shown on separate lines.

OrthoDB_Group_ID OrthoDB orthology group ID to which the pair-wise association belongs.

Notes:

  • Each row is a pair-wise association beween a D. melanogaster gene and a non-melanogaster ortholog. Thus, multiple rows exist for each D. melanogaster gene in the file.



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.

File format:

'Alleles' encompasses both classical alleles and transgenic alleles; the latter may relate to transgenic constructs of D. melanogaster genes or non-D. melanogaster genes, often human genes. These are the data reported in the "Human Disease Model Data" -> "Disease Ontology" section of the Allele Report, which are repeated in the "Human Disease Model Data" -> "Alleles Reported to Model Human Disease (Disease Ontology)" section of the Gene Report.

File format:

Column heading Content Description

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.


Nomenclature

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.

There are 8 columns of data in the file, each separated by " | ".

Column heading Content Description
Internal_id The Primary FlyBase identifier of the organism.
Taxgroup A grouping term, currently one of "drosophilid", "non-drosophilid eukaryote", "prokaryote", "transposable element" or "virus".
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 data from a species is displayed in an evidence tier on GBrowse but no individual report page exists for that species in FlyBase.
Genus The genus name of the organism.
Species name The species name of the organism.
Common name The common name of the organism. This column may be blank.
Comment A free text field for additional comments. This column may be blank.
Ncbi-taxon-id The NCBI Taxonomy Database Taxon ID for the organism. This column may be blank.

An html version of this file is also available - see the Species Abbreviations page.

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

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 3 GFF files distributed, they include:

dmel-all-r<release-number>.gff.gz
Contains all chromosome arms
dmel-all-no-analysis-r<release-number>.gff.gz
Same as above except all match and match_part features have been removed
dmel-<chromosome_arm>-r<release-number>.gff.gz
Contains only a single chromosome arm as identifed by the filename

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:

ftp://ftp.flybase.org/genomes/<species abbreviation>/current/gff/

e.g. ftp://ftp.flybase.org/genomes/dmel/current/gff/


GTF files

The FlyBase GTF files follow the GTF v2.2 specification. The GTF files contain feature line definitions for gene models.

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.
