FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for D. melanogaster and other Drosophila species, targeted to an audience of research professionals. The resources listed here may be especially useful to those new to flies.

Learning how to use Drosophila

A basic introduction to Drosophila can be found at these websites:

  • FlyMove: Images and movies describing Drosophila development


Online books:


The Manchester Fly Facility has a large compendium of Drosophila-related links for the public, educators, and students. These include information on Drosophila as a model system, general fly-related info, Drosophila movies and images, fly-related equipment, tools, and materials, information for teaching Drosophila at schools and universities, and the history of Drosophila research.

Learning Drosophila genetics

To learn how to design a genetic mating scheme, there is a four-part training package available from John Roote and Andreas Prokop, found here:

Computer-simulated genetic experiments can be performed at the following sites:

Links to these and many other Drosophila resources can be found at Gerard Manning's Drosophila Virtual Library:


How to use FlyBase

All of FlyBase's publications and presentations are on our wiki, and are a great starting place for learning how to use more of FlyBase's features.
