FlyBase:Reference Manual F. Links to and from FlyBase

FlyBase provides stable links to FlyBase for use by other databases, and links to other databases from FlyBase. Links to FlyBase data items, and links between data items in FlyBase and other databases are described in the sections that follow. Drosophila Resources includes a linked list of additional databases likely to be of interest to users of FlyBase.

FlyBase-curated links

These are accession numbers that are incorporated into the FlyBase database, for sequence and certain other molecular data, and for reference data.

Linkouts

These links derive from linking tables that are maintained and provided to FlyBase by the external database. Linkouts are combined with FlyBase data for reporting on FlyBase web pages.
