FlyAtlas 2 in 2022: enhancements to the Drosophila melanogaster expression atlas.

ABSTRACT: FlyAtlas 2 (flyatlas2.org) is a database and web application for studying the expression of the genes of Drosophila melanogaster in different tissues of adults and larvae. It is based on RNA-Seq data, and incorporates both genes encoding proteins and microRNAs. We have now completed the population of the database with 13 tissues from both male and female adults, five sex-specific tissues, and eight larval tissues. Larval garland cell nephrocytes have also been included. Major enhancements have been made to the application. First, a facility has been added for a 'Profile' search for genes with a similar pattern of tissue expression as a query gene. This may help establish the function of genes for which this is currently unknown. Second, a facility has been added dedicated to the larval mid
