FlyBase:Chemical
Last Updated: 14 October 2022
The Chemical Report provides information about chemicals that have been used experimentally in Drosophila to induce or modify pehnotypes or to evaluate toxicity.
This is a field-by-field guide to the information that is provided in the Chemical Report.
General Information
| Name | The name that FlyBase uses to identify a chemical. The name is generally taken from the ChEBI database. If there is no entry in ChEBI, the PubChem name is adopted. |
| FlyBase ID | The Primary FlyBase identifier number of the chemical, used to uniquely identify the chemical in the database.
A chemical may also have any number of Secondary FlyBase identifier numbers, which are listed in the Secondary FlyBase IDs section of the Chemical Report. |
| ChEBI Name | The chemical name used by ChEBI. |
| ChEBI ID | The chemical ID number used by ChEBI, the chemical database of EMBL-EBI. The format is CHEBI:ID. |
| PubChem Name | The chemical name used by PubChem. |
| PubChem ID | The chemical ID number used PubChem, the chemical database of NCBI. |
| Chemical Structure | An image of the chemical structure taken from ChEBI. |
| InChIKey | The InChIKey identifier for the chemical. |
| Definition (ChEBI) | The chemical definition take from ChEBI. |
| Roles Classification (ChEBI) | The biological role take from ChEBI. Entities are classified on the basis of their role within a biological context, e.g. antibiotic, antiviral agent, coenzyme, hormone. |
| Comment | Miscellaneous free text comments about the chemical or its use in particular studies. |
Synonyms and Secondary IDs
| Synonyms | A list of names that have been used in the literature, or by FlyBase, to describe the chemical. |
| Secondary FlyBase IDs | A list of Secondary FlyBase identifier numbers of the chemical. |
