Mobile technologies provide unique opportunities for ubiquitous distribution of scientific information through user-friendly interfaces. Therefore, we have developed a new FlyExpress mobile application that makes available a growing collection (>100 000) of standardized in situ hybridization images containing spatial patterns of gene expression from Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) embryogenesis. Using this application, scientists can visualize and compare expression patterns of >4000 developmentally relevant genes. The FlyExpress app displays the expression patterns of the selected gene for different visual projections (e.g. lateral) and displays them according to their developmental stages, which shows a gene's progression of spatial expression over developmental time. Ultimately, we envision the use of FlyExpress app in the laboratory where scientists may wish to immediately conduct a visual comparison of a known expression pattern with the one observed on the bench top or to display expression patterns of interest during scientific discussions at large.

移动技术通过用户友好的界面提供了无处不在的科学信息分发的独特机会。因此，我们开发了一个新的 FlyExpress 移动应用程序，提供了一个不断增长的（> 100000）标准化原位杂交图像集合，其中包含来自黑腹果蝇（果蝇）胚胎发生的基因表达的空间模式。使用此应用程序，科学家可以可视化和比较> 4000 个与发育相关的基因的表达模式。FlyExpress 应用程序为不同的视觉投影（例如，侧面）显示所选基因的表达模式，并根据其发育阶段进行显示，这显示了基因在发育时间内的空间表达的进展。最终，我们设想在实验室中使用 FlyExpress 应用程序，科学家可能希望立即将已知的表达模式与在台式机上观察到的模式进行视觉比较，或者在科学讨论中显示感兴趣的表达模式。
