GIF-DB (Gene Interactions in the Fly Database) is a new WWW database (http://www-biol.univ-mrs.fr/ approximately lgpd/GIFTS_home_page. html ) describing gene molecular interactions involved in the process of embryonic pattern formation in the flyDrosophila melanogaster. The detailed information is distributed in specific lines arranged into an EMBL- (or SWISS-PROT-) like format. GIF-DB achieves a high level of integration with other databases such as FlyBase, EMBL and SWISS-PROT through numerous hyperlinks. The original concept of interaction databases examplified by GIF-DB could be extended to other biological subjects and organisms so as to study gene regulatory networks in an evolutionary perspective.
GIF-DB（果蝇数据库中的基因相互作用）是一个新的万维网数据库（http://www-biol.univ-mrs.fr/ approximately lgpd/GIFTS_home_page.html ），它描述了果蝇黑腹果蝇胚胎模式形成过程中涉及的基因分子相互作用。详细信息以类似EMBL（或SWISS-PROT）格式排列在特定行中。GIF-DB通过众多超链接与其他数据库（如FlyBase、EMBL和SWISS-PROT）实现了高度集成。以GIF-DB为例的相互作用数据库的原始概念可以扩展到其他生物学主题和生物体，以便从进化的角度研究基因调控网络。
